abdominal tubercle are two more processes, the dorsal being 

 the longer. 



Genital sac full of large round eggs. 



Length about 7 millim. without processes. 



Male minute, about 1 millim. long (PI. VI. fig. 2 e). 



Cephalothorax oval, distinctly divided off from the seg- 

 mented caudal portion, which appears to consist of three 

 joints, terminating in two lancinate plates. 



Anterior antennae placed close to the posterior, which spring 

 from the upper and anterior border of the cephalothorax ; 

 the first is three-jointed, ending in three short hairs ; the 

 posterior has a thickened basal joint and a short square second, 

 also terminating in three hairs. 



First maxillipeds very large and strong, the root-joint very 

 muscular, its upper border being much lobed; the claw is 

 very strongly bent, thick at the base, and sharp at the point, 

 with a short curved tooth about the centre of the concave 

 border.
