Jieituirk.'i. — The general bodily form, the shape of tJie 

 short proboscis witii its wreath of delicate hairs round the 

 mouth, and the form of the chela fingers with their bud- 

 like projections mark this species as belonging to the genus 

 PseudojKiHene, Wilson, rather than Para [ui I hue. Carpen- 

 ter, as suggested by Loman (1908, page 47). Haswell 

 states that this species is related to Pallenr /a-vis, Hoek. 

 As a matter of fact the two differ in a very fundamental 

 point since in Fdlleuf l(pvi.<, each chelophore has a two- 

 jointed scape, while in the ])resent species the scapo is 

 simple.

There is very little to add to ITaswcH's description of 

 the holotvpe The following is to be regarded as supple- 

 mentaiy to the original description: — 



Body narrow, rruriyfrx well separated, longer than 

 wide and expanded distally. Trinik is widest at anterior 

 end, while each succeeding segment is narrower than tlie 

 one immediately preceding it. In old animals segments 

 arc completely fused, in young ones only the hindmost two. 

 Two characteristic dorsal spines occur on the body at the 

 level of the second and third pair of crurigers. 



PrnhnscU is of the ?hapc de^scribcd bv Haswell. It is 

 inserted into the ventral side of the cephalic segment which 

 is continued beyond the insertion into the long well-defined 

 and constricted neck characteristic of the genus Annplo- 

 dactylus. In front of this neck the cephalon is slightly ex- 

 panded. Upon this expanded portion an extraordinarily 

 high ocular tubercle arises. This is not mentioned by Has- 

 well in his description, but is shown by him in plate 57, 

 fig 1, lying just alongside tlie right chcliforus. The pre-
