Fam.— CHELURID^. 



Cephalon broad. Pereion not compressed. The 

 three posterior segments of the pleon fused together. 

 Telson, as well as the appendages of the cephalon 

 and pereion, normal ; those of the pleon abnormally 

 placed. 



This family was founded by Professor Allman for 

 the reception of a single species, which possesses such 

 peculiar conditions as to exclude it from all those that 

 had been previously formed. It is distinguished from 

 the CoROPHiiD^ by the fusion of the last three seg- 

 ments of the tail and the abnormal character of the 

 caudal appendages.
