The resemblance between this species and Lestrigonus 

 exulans is remarkably close ; so much so, that should the 

 animals of either species lose their antennae, we believe 

 that the most acute observation would not be able to 

 detect any distinguishing feature. 



The antennae are rather longer than the animal, being 

 nearly of equal length ; the upper are, however, some- 

 what the longer. The peduncle of the superior pair is as 

 long as the head, the first joint being longer than the two 

 others. The first articulus of the flagellum is longer 

 than the peduncle, tapering gradually to the extremity, 

 and having the inferior margin fringed with hairs. The 

 flagellum is very long and very slender, the articuli 

 being about four or five times as long as broad, with the 

 exception of a few succeeding the first long articulus.
