BemarJcs. — This new gentis is nearly allied to Pho.rocephaltis, though 

 I littering markedly in the structure of' the mandibles and in the equal-sized 

 gnathopoda, in which respect it would seem to tVirm a transitory link U\ tlie 

 genus Harpinia, with whii'h genus it also agrees as regards the outer lialiitns. 

 The species upon which the genus is founded, was formerly referred by the 

 author to the genus Phoxus (now Phoxocephalus).

Body in female ratlier sliort and tumid, in male somewhat more com- 

 liressed. Cephalou nearly attaining the length of the 4 anterior segments of 

 mesosome combined, hood evenly vaulted above, with the terminal edge roun- 

 ded in front. First pair of coxal plates scarcely broader than the succeeding 

 ones, distal edge subtruncated, and bearing about 14 bristles; the 2 succeeding 

 ones regularly c[iiadrangular, each with aliout S In-istles occupying the posterior 

 half of the distal edge; 4th pair fully twice as broad as the preceding ones, 

 the inferior and posterior edges forming together an even curve, upper corner 

 rounded; 5th pair with the posterior lobe scarcely widening below, and ob- 

 tusely rounded at the tip. Last ])air of ei)imeral plates of metasome narrowly 

 rounded at the lateral corners, posterior edge slightly convex. Eyes distinctly 

 develo]ied, in female very small and rounded, in male (even in its not fully 

 developed state) very large, occupying nearly the whole height of the cejjhalon, 

 and oblong oval or reniform, pigment dark. Superior antenna?, in female 

 rather slender, about e(|uaUing in length the ce])halon, 1st joint of the i)e- 

 duncle about as long as the other 2 combined, tlagellum somewhat shorter 

 than the peduncle and composed of 7 articulations, accessory ajipendage half 

 the length of the tlagellum and 4-ai'ticulate ; those in male somewhat more 

 elongated, with a dense brush of hairs inside the 1st peduncular joint, tlagel- 

 lum nearly as long as the pedixncle, and provided with distinct calceolse. 

 Inferior antennae in female scarcely longer than the superioi', ])enultimate 

 joint of the peduncle the largest, and provided at the end anteriorly with a 

 transverse series of slender spines, flagellnm about the length of the outer 2 

 joints of the peduncle combined, and composed of 8 articulations; those in 

 male scarcely exceeding half the length of the body, penultimate and ante- 

 l)enultimate joints of the peduncle densely hairy in front, last joint with 2 

 calceolse in its outer part anteriorly, flagellixm composed of about 20 articula- 

 tions, (inathopoda with the hand slightly expanded in its outer part, palmar
