The female presents the following differences. There is no genicula- 

 tion, nor pectinations, on the right anterior antenna ; the acute posterior 

 angles of the cephalothorax are produced equally, and bent slightly out- 

 ward, the right not black at the tip. The abdomen is four-jointed; the 

 second joint is the largest, rounded laterally and gibbous below, and the 

 posterior lateral angle on each side is produced into short acute pro- 

 cesses ; in the center of the protuberance below is a deep black spot. 



It will be observed that some of the characters mentioned above be- 

 long to Candace curta. The females show a decided likeness to the 

 same sex of C. pachydacfyla. The only difl'erence of any importance 

 that I can see in the three species, is in the structure of the right pos- 

 terior foot of the male. Future research will probably determine them 

 to be but a single species with individual variations. The structure of 

 the right anterior antenna of the male is a strong si^ecific character.

The claw of the anterior feet is not as long as the preceding joint; 

 the caudal stylets are about one-third the length of the abdomen, and 

 the two external setse, instead of being but little more than the diameter 

 of the stylets in length, equal one-half, or more than one-half, their 

 length.
