scarcely perceptible indentation ; while in the female the large 

 bulge of the thigh is contracted rather suddenly by a forward 

 curve. 



It remains only to notice that the sixth pair of legs are 

 rather longer than the fifth and seventh pairs, and that the 

 lobe of the head on which the eyes are situated is not curvi- 

 linear, but angular, and has a slight incision below it. These 

 details, as well as the elevation of the fourth segment of the 

 pleon, are common to both sexes. For other points the reader 

 may be referred to the standard authorities.
