Specific Characters. Female. Body moderately slender 

 and slightly tapering behind, with the anterior division oval in form and 

 not much dilated anteriorly. Cephalic segment exceeding in length the 

 4 succeeding segments combined; rostral projection slightly prominent 

 and obtuse at the tip. Urosome about 2 / 3 as long as the anterior 

 division, and having the segments rather sharply defined. Caudal rami 

 very short, being twice as broad as they are long, and transversely 

 truncated at the end; middle apical setas rather slender. Anterior an- 

 tennae comparatively short, though distinctly 9-articulate, terminal part 

 about the length of the 3 preceding joints combined. Posterior antennae
