twice as long as the 

 third and much longer 

 than the fifth; the claw 



minute they 



have broad lameilar 

 coxae, the next joints are 

 small, they have not a 

 projccting lower apc.v, 

 the last joint and the 

 claw together are hardly 

 as long as the fonrth 

 joint. 



On account of the above I think it is only justice to 

 rcstore the iiame Tauria, Dana, as a geuus, which, in my opinion, 

 is vcry well defiued, with the typical species Tauria macr^o- 

 cephala. The Tauria medusarum O. Fabr. [A. Boeck] is to be 

 unitcd with the genus Hyperia, because the developmcnt of 

 the carpal process is gradi;al through the species and no ge- 

 ncric character. But as the name H. medusarum has been alrcady 

 given by O. F. Muller to another Hyperia, I propose for it 

 the name Hyperia Kroeyeri, the diagnosis being the same as 

 that given by BoECK 1. c. pag. 83. Tauria abyssorum, A. 

 Boeck, must be named Hyperia abyssorum, A. Boeck.
