about equal size, terminal part nearly as long as the proximal, with the 2nd 

 joint the largest, the 2 succeeding joints very short. Posterior antennae with 

 the distal joint comparatively short, but with rather long apical setae, outer ramus 

 exceeding in length the distal joint and distinctly 4-articulate. Mandibles with 

 the masticatory part considerably expanded, the outer 2 teeth of the cutting 

 edge claw-like, palp with the basal part oblong oval in form, rami of about 

 equal size, the outer one distinctly 4-articulate. Posterior maxillipeds with the 

 masticatory lobe of the basal joint well defined and armed with 5 short denticu- 

 lated spines and one or 2 simple bristles, propodus fusiform in shape, with the 

 outer edge finely ciliated, inner edge carrying in the middle 2 strong plumose 

 sete, dactylus rather complex, biarticulate, proximal joint carrying at the end 

 inside a short bristle, and outside a small lobule tipped with a minute hair, distal 

 joint unguiform with 2 slender curved setae outside. 1st pair of legs with the 

 basal part broad and flattened, outer ramus shorter than the inner and having 

 a well developed seta inside the middle joint, terminal joint larger than either 

 of the other 2, and armed with 5 slender spines successively increasing in length 

 distally, and with a seta on the inner edge; inner ramus with the 1st joint about 

 the length of the other 2 combined and, like the middle one, provided at the 

 end inside with a slender seta, terminal joint somewhat smaller than the middle 

 one, and carrying outside a short spine, inside a small seta, and at the tip an- 

 other seta and a very long spine. The 3 succeeding pairs of legs with the outer 

 ramus normally developed, terminal joint in the 2 anterior pairs with 2 setae 

 inside, in 4th pair with 3 such setae; inner ramus in 2nd pair nearly as long as 

 the outer, and having the proximal joint rather expanded, in 3rd pair rather 

 shorter; distal joint in both these pairs with a small dentiform projection in the 

 middle of the outer edge, inner edge in 2nd pair with 3 setae, the outermost one 

 rather strong, in 3rd pair with 4 subequal setae and a minute denticle interposed 

 between the 2 proximal ones. 4th pair of legs with the inner ramus distinctly 

 3-articulate, but much shorter than the outer. Last pair of legs' with the distal 

 joint conical in form, and edged with 5 rather unequal setae, one of them issuing 

 from the narrowly exserted tip ; inner expansion of proximal joint rather broad, 

 but scarcely at all produced, and provided with 3 slender setae. Ovisac of 

 moderate size and rounded oval in form. 



Male unknown. 



Colour not yet ascertained. 



Length of adult female 0.65 mm. 



Remarks. In its outward appearance this form has a strong resemblance 

 to certain species of the genus Cyclopina, and may easily be mistaken for one of them.
