m the pro.xinial third of its anterior side 

 it iias rather sparse, siiort. line hairs; it is 

 not sword-shaped distally. The a-, b-, c-

 hall as loni^ as the ('-bristJ(\ 'J'here are 

 yellowish-l)rown pigment corpuscles, at 

 least in some cases, in the proximal part 

 of this limb. All tlic joints are bare. 

 S (' (■ o Ti d a 11 t e n n a: — The 

 p r o t o p o (lite is only slightly weaker 

 than in the male. The pro])ortion bet- 

 ween the length of the protopodite and 

 that of the exopodite is about the 

 same as in the male. E n d o p o d i t e: 

 This has two joints, the original boundary 

 between the second and third joint having 

 (|uite disapjieared. The f-, g-, h-, i- and 

 j-bristles are subequal and are about as long as or somewhat longer than half the length of 

 the protopodite; they are all bare and without any shafts. There is an extremely small 

 papilla (scarcely perceptible with KEIcmoin's ocular 4 and Lhitz's immersion Vio) between 

 the h- and i-bristles. One of the c- and d-bristles is developed, at least in some cases; it is 

 very short, onh' about as long as the proximal width of, for instance, the f-bri.stle (is this 

 bristle's absence secondary?). Pilosity; The second cndopodite joint is bare. 



Sixth limb: — E n d o p o d i t e: One of the two bristles is in most cases furnished 

 with short hairs. Exopodite: The first joint has no dorso-distal bristle; the other bristles vary 

 somewhat in length; they are often of the same relative lengths as in my fig. 30 of C. symmetrica. 

 Rod -shaped organ: — The point of the shaft reaches about as far in front of 

 the point of the first antenna as the length of the capitulum. The capitiilum is somewhat 

 more than half the length of the fir.st antenna; it varies in shape; it was huind to be of alxml 

 the same types as are drawn by G. W. Miller, 1906 a, pi. XVII, figs. 30—33. '

Remarks: — Is this species, such as it is taken in the present work, a unit from a systematic 

 point of \-iew? This is a problem at present extremely difficult to decide.
