144 Records of the Indian Museum. [Voy. XI, 
Eyes large, dorso-lateral. Antennulae small, 3-jointed. Antennae 
(fig. 3), first four joints short, fifth joint long, 2nd-4th character- 
ised by deep groove on their inner border; flagellum 2-jointed, 
proximal joint slightly longer than the distal one. First maxillae 
(fig. 4), the outer lobe terminates in four stout, slightly incurved 
spines and seven smaller finer ones, inner lobe thin and spoon- 
shaped terminally, proximally thickened. Second maxillae (fig. 5) 
thin, plate-like, bilobed distally and setaceous. Segments of the 
mesosome convex and almost sub-equal, the lateral plates well 
developed on the Ist segment, but small on the remaining ones, 
the posterior angles of segments 1-4 produced backwardly, over- 
lapping the succeeding segments. Maxillipedes (fig. 6) with elong- 
ated palps, outer one terminating in outer multispinous process and 
two inner spines, inner palp with single spine. Thoracic append- 
ages (fig. 7) rather short, fringed on the inner side with few stout 
spines, claws long. Uropoda (figs. 8 and 9) extending beyond the 
telson, basal plate convex both sides with lateral expansions, 
dorsally there is a lateral process with which the endopodite 
articulates; exopodite and endopodite small and almost sub-equal 
in length, setose and each terminating in a fine spine. Telson 
(fig. ro} small, sub-equal with basal plates of uropoda, triangular 
with antero-lateral portions extended, depressed in the median 
line, apex sub-acute. Length 7mm. Colour (in alcohol) very vari- 
able, some a creamy white with posterior margins and lateral 
plates of all segments a fuscous-brown, others alight brown with 
darker markings laterally and in the median line. 
Habitat.—Ennuur, nr. Madras, under stones on sand, Ig-x-I3, 
No. 8671/10; Mandapam, Pamben Passage, S. India, No. 8605/ro. 
‘“In both cases the specimens were on bare sand close to the sea- 
shore ’’. (N. Annandale.) 
Type.—In the collection of the Indian Museum. 
This interesting species will, I believe, be found to have a 
wide distribution in India. The form of the head, antennae, telson, 
and uropoda at once separate it from any other genus I know of, 
while there are a number of minor, but pronounced characters in 
the mouth parts. Incolour it is exceedingly variable, particularly 
so in specimens under 7 mm. in length. To those who attach any 
great importance to the mouth parts, the form of the inner lobe of 
the 1st maxilla should prove of interest. 
Porcellio sp. 
Habitat —Marikuppam, S. India, 2500 feet, 21-x=10, No. 8588. 
(R. Hodgart.) 
wo examples, both without their antennae or uropoda, I am 
referring to the genus Porcedlio. In colour they are a deep blackish- 
brown, with the posterior angles of the lateral plates of the 
mesosomatic segments a yellowish-brown. The head and all the 
segments of the body are richly tuberculated. The lateral and 
median lobes of the head are well-developed, epistoma convex.
