SPIRONTOCARIS DALLI Rathbun. 

 Spirontocaris dalli RATHBUN, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., xxiv, 894, 1902. 



Female. Allied to S. ochotensis, from which it is separated by few 

 but well-marked characters. The rostrum is longer than in S. ochotensis, 

 reaching nearly to the end of the antennal scale ; the midrib is straighter, 

 less sinuous, and terminates in a single sharp spine ; the teeth on the ros- 

 trum are 6-8 above, 3-4 below. The carapace is lower. The last 3 

 pairs of thoracic feet are longer and more slender. The sixth segment 

 of the abdomen is also longer than in S. ochotensis, being more than one 

 and a half times as long as the fifth segment.
