Genus Paramici'ppa , M.-Edw. 
Paramicippa hispida, n. sp. PI. xxiv., figs. 6, 6a. 
Body thickly covered with long, bristly hairs, especi- 
ally on the legs, where they are sometimes curved at the tips. 
Carapace pyriform, convex, smooth beneath the hair3, 
most elevated in the protogastric region. The gastric region 
is broad in front, narrowing behind. The urogastric region is 
distinct, as also are the cardiac and intestinal. These are 
separated from the branchial by an irregular shallow groove 
extending longitudinally from the cervical groove to a shal- 
low meta-branchial depression : this groove is bounded on the 
outer side by an obscurely marked, rounded ridge following 
the same direction but interrupted in the middle. The 
branchial regions are well rounded, moderately tumid, and 
without spines. The posterior margin is slightly produced 
medianly, and rounded. 
The anterior portion of the upper margin of the orbit is 
slightly thickened and strongly arched ; the posterior end of 
the arch is sub-acutely prominent and pressed down behind 
the eye peduncle ; the intermediate spine, which is somewhat 
compressed and sub-acute, follows close behind with the post- 
ocular, which is a little longer and also sub-acute, following 
close after it in the same oblique line. The orbit is very 
widely open below. 
The hepatic region is slightly tumid. 
The rostral horns are short, nearly parallel, acute, and 
much, though not vertically, depressed. Two ridges, with a 
median groove between, extend from the base of the rostrum 
to the front of the gastric region, slightly diverging back- 
wards. 
The ocular peduncles are very long, project upwards, and 
are slightly curved in that direction. 
The basal antennal joint is short, slightly oblique, slop- 
ing outwards, ending distally in a slightly curved, transverse 
ridge, which on the outer side is produced to a strong spine, 
projecting outwards and upwards, and but very little for- 
wards, and on the inner side bearing a small tooth. The re- 
maining joints of the peduncle are well clear of the rostral 
horn, the more proximal one is short and broad, but not 
compressed. 
The sub-hepatic region is tumid. 
The pterygostomial region has a compressed tubercle or 
spine. 
The epistome is depressed. 
There is a small, rounded swelling between the orbit 
and the external angle of the buccal frame.
