Sooloo Sea. 



Length of body, eight lines. Beak very narrow (vertically), and

 beak, and the whole antennas twice as long as beak. Fingers of hand 

 of second pair in contact. Mandible with terminal process tridentate ;

PAL^EMONELLA ORIENTALIS. 



Rostrum rectum, nan recurvatum, squama antennali nan longius, apice 

 acutum, supra Q-dentatum, dentibus inter se fere ceque distantibus, 

 infra \-dentatum. Pedes 2di crassiusculi, subcylindrici, apice brachii 

 apicem rostri non attingente et non acuto, carpo breviore quam dimi- 

 dium mamis, apice non acuto, diyitis dimidio manus brevioribus. 

 Pedes 6 postici fere nudi, graciles. 



Beak straight, not reflexed, not longer than scale of outer antenna), 

 acute at apex, above six-toothed, teeth nearly equidistant, below 

 one-toothed. Feet of second pair rather stout, subcylindrical, apex 

 of arm not reaching to apex of beak and not acute, carpus shorter 

 than half the hand, and apex not acute, fingers shorter than half 

 the hand. Six posterior feet naked or nearly so, slender.
