Genus PONTELLA. 



Sub-genus Pontellina. 



Cephalothorax postice productus, angulis acutis. 



Seta antennarum anticavum apicalis setis subapicalibus brevior. 



Pontella setosa, n. sp. 



Frons subtriangulata. Cephalothorax G-articulatus, articulo 

 postico niagno, angulis posticis brevibus. Oculi supeiioies 

 grandes. Antenna; anticse cephalothorace brevioies, apicibus 

 fronte valde anterioribus ; setis fere rectis, prope basin fere 

 articuli secundi longitudine, postica penultimd duple longiore 

 quani apicales. Antenna dextra maris, medio incrassulata, 

 13-articulata, articulo 10 lamella dentatd instructo, articulis 

 scqucntibus tribus (ultimis) normalibus. Pes posticus maris 

 dexter cheliformis, digito elongate tenui et curvato. Abdo-; 

 men maris 4, fccminae 2-articulatum. 



The species seems to form a link between the sub-genera Pon- 

 tellina and Pontella, for though the sides of the head are not armed 

 by two projecting angles, as in the latter, they are not quite flat 

 as is usual in the former, but have two rounded swellings instead 

 of angles. 



The anterior antenna; are 'OS in length ; those of the female, and 

 the left of the male, are very like those of P. acutifrons. 



The two branches of the second pair of antennae are somewhat 

 unequal in size. 



The outer branch of the first pair of legs has three segments, 

 the inner two. 



The fourth pair also agree in this respect, but the spines along 

 the outer margin are more conspicuous. 



Fig. 5 represents the fifth pair of the male, and fig. C of the 

 female. 



The terminal seta; of the abdomen are five in number, and 

 nearly equal in size. 



The length of the cephalothorax is "09 inch, and of the abdo- 

 men '02.
