with almost straight sides. Its palps are two-jointed ; the basal 
joint is stout, but scarcely as broad as long; the distal joint is 
only about half as broad as the basal, and is distinctly longer than 
broad. 
The legs appear to have been soft and fleshy, but are each 
tipped with a strong claw. 
All segments of the body except the anal are much shrivelled. 
There is a row of about eight! strong hairs in front of the anus, 
and a pair of smaller hairs a little in front of these on the same 
segment. On the ventral margin of the flattened posterior surface 
of the anal segment is a pair of large upwardly curved horns near 
the middle line, with a pair of strong hairs between them. Ten 
similar hairs are arranged on each side of the segment (pl. xx, 
fig. 7). The dorsal margin is thickly dentate, and there is a pair 
of transverse fossae situated laterally on the posterior surface 
immediately above a small tooth (see pl. xx, fig. 6). 
| Four on one side, three and a small one a little out of the row on the other.
