antennas having the flagellum fringed below ; the acicle hardly pro- 

 longed into a process on inner side, and its outer process not reaching 

 beyond the apex of the joint following it.

GENUS BEKNHAEDUS, Dana. 



Pedes \mi interdum subcequales, scepius dexter major; digiti acuminati, 

 apice calcarei. Annulum ophthalmicum non rostriferum. Appendici- 

 bus articulatis pone pedes thoracis posticos carens. 



Anterior feet sometimes subequal, usually the right larger ; fingers 

 acuminate, with calcareous tips. Ophthalmic ring not rostriferous. 

 No articulate appendages just posterior to fifth thoracic feet. 



In the genus Bernhardus, the hands are much flattened or depressed 

 in form, and so also, in general, the carpus ; and the latter joint is 

 sometimes as long as the hand and similar in form, but reversed. 

 Not only is the right leg of the anterior pair larger than the left; but 

 the same relation holds for the following two pairs. In a few species, 

 however, the legs of the anterior pair are nearly equal, and the left 

 may even be a little the larger. The acicle of the outer antennae is 

 long subulate, seldom shorter than the eye-peduncle. The tips of the 

 fingers of the larger hand are calcareous.
