The head is anteriorly produced and depressed, but 

 not incurved. The segments of the body are not more 

 than half the length of those of the anterior half of the 

 tail. The eyes are round, and not very large. The 

 superior antennae are longer than the inferior ; the fla- 

 gellum is not so long as the peduncle. The inferior 

 antennae are more slender than the superior, but the 

 peduncle reaches almost as far as that of the superior ; 

 the flagellum is scarcely longer than the last joint of the 

 peduncle. The first pair of legs are rather small, and 

 the infero-distal extremity of the wrist scarcely reaches 

 to half the length of the hand ; the hand is long and 

 narrow, the palm, fringed with small hairs, extends the 

 entire length of the joint, and is subparallel with the 

 upper margin, which is produced beyond the point where 

 the finger articulates with the hand ; the finger is long
