ATLANTIC AND CARIBBEAN PYCNOGONIDA—HEDGPETH 235 
Oviger: Six-jointed, with a nonarticulated segmentation near base 
of the third segment. Relatively few spines on the terminal joints. 
Leg: Slender, free of knobs, tubercles, or prominent setae, except 
for a low rounded knob at the dorsodistal end of the femur. Femoral 
cement gland of the cribriform type, at the middle of the joint, 
depressed and with a transparent rim. Femur and tibiae subequal. 
Tarsus small; propodus curved but without a prominent heel. There 
are two basal spines, one simple, the other with denticulations on the 
inner margin, which give it the appearance of aminutecomb. Ventral 
margin (sole) of propodus with 10 or 11 spines. Terminal claw 
nearly as long as propodus, almost straight. Auxiliary claws not 
apparent; if present, they are very small.
