between the Maiinea and the Cancroid Crustacea, resembling the latter 
also in their short epistome. The greater length of the anlerior legs is 
lated to the Parthenopinea—the orbits, and antennz, epistome and ge-

maxillipeds it approaches Dromia, as shown by aan. 
Telmessus of White appears to belong with the Corystoidea, as the 
outer antenne, in connection with the form, indicate.
