NO. 3566 EUPHILOMEDES MULTICHELATA—KORNICKER 9 
bristles on base near posteroproximal margin, one spinose, one bare 
(fig. 6e). Third joint with two long, plumose bristles on outer margin 
and two or three on inner margin. End joints with about seven 
bristles. Endites with numerous bristles. 
Sixth limb (figs. 6g-h): Protopodite: first endite with one short, 
annulated, bare bristle; second endite with three terminal bristles 
with wreath of stiff hairs near middle, and one short, annulated, bare 
bristle on posterior margin; third endite with six terminal bristles, all 
with wreath of stiff hairs near middle; fourth endite of left sixth limb 
with five bristles, all with wreath of stiff hairs near middle, right sixth 
limb with bifurcating bristle resulting in total of six bristles on endite 
(fig. 6h). Second joint of exopodite with two distinct lobes; distal 
lobe with five bristles on left sixth limb, six on right, all with wreaths 
of stiff hairs; proximal lobes on both limbs with three long, stout, 
plumose bristles followed closely by one short, bare, annulate bristle. 
Seventh limb (fig. 67): Quite similar to male. Terminal comb 
consisting of fan with marginal teeth, in side view appearing as large 
single tooth. Small fan with marginal teeth located on each side 
of terminal comb. Slender peg and sharp spine opposite comb. 
Four of five distal bristles and one proximal bristle; bristles bare or 
with short marginal spines distally. 
Frontal organ (fig. 67): 2-jointed; apparent additional joints 
near proximal end probably resulting from wrinkles and folds. 
Eyes (fig. 67): Median eye well developed, pigmented; lateral 
eyes absent. 
Furca: Missing from specimen. 
Eggs: About five oval eggs in brood pouch. 
Remarxks.—LHuphilomedes multichelata is closely related to Eu- 
philomedes oblonga (Juday, 1907). Specimens of the latter were 
unavailable for study. According to the description and figure by 
Juday (1907, p. 145, pl. 20, fig. 6), EL. oblonga has fewer secondary 
claws (5 claws) on the caudal furea than FE. multichelata has. In 
order to determine whether the difference in number of secondary 
claws could be due to variability in that character, the number of 
secondary claws on the furca was counted on 11 specimens of £. 
multichelata (table 1). No specimen examined had fewer than seven 
secondary claws, most had eight, a few nine; consequently it is con- 
cluded that Z. multichelata and E. oblonga are distinct.
