while in .S*. spina it is more than one and a half times as long as wide ; 

 the maxillipeds reach to the tip of the antennal scale ; the dactyli of the 

 third to fifth pairs of feet are shorter than in S. spina, that of the last 

 pair being contained at least three times in the propodus, while in S. spina 

 the dactylus of the last pair is contained only two and a half times in its 

 propodus. 



The males of this species and of S. spina are more difficult of deter- 

 mination. The rostrum has the midrib more strongly curved upward, the 

 upper limb deeper and with more convex superior outline than in S. spina. 

 The same differences in the abdomen exist as in the females of the two 

 species, but in a lesser degree.
