lono-er than the entire lenijth of the other four ; rostrum prominent. Anterior antennae 

 short and stout, 9-jointed ; the upper distal angle of the fourth joint is produced forward 

 over the next, while the terminal joint is ahout as long as the total length of the pre- 

 ceding four ; the relative lengths of the joints are nearly as shown in the formula : —

Mandibles and maxillae nearly as in Stenlielia hispida. Foot-jaws nearly as in 

 Stenlielia ima. The swimming-feet are also nearly as in the last-named species, except 

 that the proportional lengths of the joints are somewhat ditfercnt; the first joint of 

 the inner branches of the first pair is not longer than the outer branches and not 

 much longer than the combined length of the second and third joints. The inner 

 branches of the fourth pair are somewhat longer than the outer branches. The fifth pair 

 closely resemble those of Stenlielia ima (fig. 11). Caudal stylets somewhat widely 

 apart, about equal in length to the last abdominal segment, and furnished with four 

 apical seta3 (fig. 12).

RaUtat. Accra, in a shore gathering, collected January 16th. This, though ajoparently 

 widely distributed, is nevertheless a rare species. It has been obtained in a few British 

 localities, but always sparingly. 



The strong conical tooth -like process on the second joint of the anterior antennae and 

 the serrated margin of the third joint (fig. 25) are well-marked characters of the species. 



Laophonte longipes, n. sp. (PI. X. figs. 13-23.) 



Length '6 mm. Body elongate ; anterior antennae 7-jointed ; the first thi'ee joints are 



together about equal to twice the entire length of the other four, and the last is about 



equal to the combined length of the two preceding joints. The relative lengths of the 



joints are nearly as follows : —
