Holvtype o/" Animothea carolinensis, LeacJi. 311 



not quite as tall as the first dorsal process, subcjliiidrical, 

 with a conical apex ; eyes distinct, pigmented, the anterior 

 pair the hirger. 



Af>do?nen horizontal, laterally coni))ressed towards the tip, 

 with a distinct basal tubercle, its length one-third of the 

 distance from its base to tlie front. 



Proboscis as long as trunk and abdomen together, with a 

 faint constriction at less tiian one-third of its length from the 

 base, the distal portion rounded-trihedral in section, nar- 

 rowing slightly to the broadly truncate tip. 



Chdophores extending to one-tiiird of length of proboscis, 

 scape a little longer than chela, fingers strongly arched, much 

 longer tiian the palm. 



Palps (only seven out of the nine segments shown in 

 Leach's figure are preserved) slender, second segment onu- 

 half as long as fourth, the three following subequal. 



Ovigers with ten segments distinct. 



Legs. First coxa a little shorter than third and more than 

 h;ilf as long as second. Femur equal to first tibia and four- 

 fifths as long as second. Tarsus and propodus together 

 nearly half as long as second tibia. Propodus slightly curved, 

 with two or three large spines on the proximal part and one 

 smaller near the distal end of the inner edge. Claw about 

 half as long as propodus ; auxiliaries five-eighths as long as 

 main claw. 



The dorsal surface of the body and the whole surface of 

 the appendages closely set with minute spinules. On the 

 legs, the spinules show here and there a tendency towards 

 arrangement iu longitudinal series, but they are not divided 

 into definite bands by sharply nnirked bare spaces.
