DOMICOLA. 



Fam. CHELURID^E. 



CEPHALON broad. Pereion not compressed. The 

 three posterior segments of the pleon fused together. 

 Telson, as well as the appendages of the cephalon 

 and pereion, normal ; those of the pleon abnormally 

 placed. 



This family was founded by Professor Allman for 

 the reception of a single species, which possesses such 

 peculiar conditions as to exclude it from all those that 

 had been previously formed. It is distinguished from 

 the COROPHIID.E by the fusion of the last three seg- 

 ments of the tail and the abnormal character of the 

 caudal appendages.
