In this species the head is In-oadly rounded in front, and behind 

 fitted into the trilobate front margin of the first peraeon segment. 

 The angles of the sixth and seventh perjeon seg- 

 ments are produced, acute, reaching beyond the 

 still more acute apices of their side plates. The 

 lateral angles of the first and second pleon segments 

 much overlap those of the third and fourth segments, and in all 

 four to a lateral view they have a somewhat hook-like shape., 

 Our specimen is a female^ with distended marsupial plates.

 to call attention to the circumstance that Guerin-M^neville, in
