 about one and a half times longer than any of the other

 narrow; those of the remaining segments very broad. 



The first abdominal segment is almost entirely covered by 

 the last thoracic segment. The second, third, and fourth 

 segments are tuberculated on their posterior margins. The 

 fifth segment is also tuberculated, the tubercles on eitiier side 

 of the median line of tubercles being larger and more con- 

 spicuous. At the base of the terminal segment are four 

 tubercles, the two centre ones being the larger. The ter- 

 minal segment is subtriangular with truncate apex. The 

 posterior margin is armed with spines. The inner branch of 

 the uropoda is truncate posteriorly and armed with spines; 

 it is about twice as broad as tiie outer branch, wliich is
