the second and third joints suddenly narrowing^ giving 

 to the upper margin an arcuate line, while the lower is 

 straight ; the flagellum is about the same length as the 

 peduncle, the first articulus being nearly half its entire 

 length. The secondary appendage is nearly as long as 

 the flagellum. The inferior antennae are about the same 

 length as the superior; the joints forming the peduncle 

 are short, except the last, being hidden behind the pro- 

 jecting lateral lobes of the head. Tlie epistoma is 

 rounded in front, and projects as far in advance as the 

 frontal wall of the head. The foot-jaws are short, and 

 have the fifth and sixth joints subequal in length, but 

 neither of them are much longer than the seventh. The 

 plate which is attached to the fourth joint has the inner 

 margin crenulated, where the rudiments of a spine cor- 

 responds with each lobule ; a single strong spine sub- 

 apically crowns the plate. The first pair of legs are 

 short and robust, they have the wrist and hand nearly 

 of the same length, and continuous with each other, 

 forming a long imperfect ellipse, the broadest part of 

 which corresponds with the articulation between the 

 two joints. The palm is the narrowest part of the 

 hand ; it is smooth, and defined by a right angle that 

 projects a little beyond the regular line of the inferior 

 margin : the finger is short, strong, and curved. The 

 second pair of legs are long and slender, having the 

 third joint nearly as long as the fourth, the fifth 

 much longer than either, and as long again as the 

 hand, it is inferiorly produced to a lobe, which is 

 thickly covered with a fur of short stiff" hairs, above 

 which, on the inner side as well as on the upper mar- 

 gin, is a double row of similar hairs which extend longitu- 

 dinally along half the length of the joint. The hand is 

 rounded at the apex, furnished with five rows of hairs
