furnished laterally with few set?e, which on first and second seg- 

 ments of pleon form short row on each side, but never form 

 transverse band crossing segment. Marsupia of female thin- 

 walled pouches attached to ventral wall of sixth thoracic seg- 

 ment, increase with the development of the eggs, and in som.e 

 specimens, extend over fifth to seventh segments, to which not 

 attached, however. 



Color (in alcohol) pale yellow, mottled with brownish on 

 head, excepting over about thirty elliptical and sub-elliptical 

 areolae symmetrically arranged toward middle line. Dorsal sur- 

 faces of chelae similarly marked. Body and limbs behind head 

 much paler, as usually concealed in tubular dwelling. Length 

 4.7 mm. (H. F. Moore.)

 domiciles with only the head and chelae projecting, when undis- 

 turbed, otherwise they promptly retreated out of sight.

 limbs not biramous, but adapted to serve as accessory mouth- 

 parts, second pair being strongly developed into large raptorial 

 limbs in which, as in three following pairs, terminal segm^ent 

 (daotylus) closes upon next segment (manus) like blade of pen- 

 knife. Last three pairs of thoracic limbs biramous, with lateral 

 appendages upon penultimate segments and adapted for walking. 

 Abdomen very strongly developed. Tufted gills carried on ex- 

 opodites of first five abdominal appendages and sixth pair (uro-
