ENTOMOSTRACA OF MINNESOTA. 309 - 
claws and two short set; one of these set is located at the disto-ental 
angle and the other at the disto-ectal angle of the joint. The claws 
are smooth. 
In the male the antenna is six-jointed, and the terminal claws are 
longer and more flexible than in the female. 
Mandible resembles that of Cypria exculpta Fischer. 
First foot of female (Fig. 5) long and slender, composed of five 
joints. The most proximal joint large, the broadest of all. The next 
joint the shortest of all. The antepenultimate joint about as long as 
the most proximal, but more slender. From the margin of this joint 
arise two short sete. From the disto-caudal angle of this joint arises 
a long seta which extends to beyond the base of the terminal claws. 
From near the disto-cephalic angle of this joint arises a short seta. 
Along the cephalic margin of the penultimate joint there is a longi- 
tudinal row of fine hairs. From the disto-caudal angle of this joint 
arises a seta of medium length. From the extremity of the terminal 
joint arises a long claw; this claw is much longer than the joint and 
appears to be composed of two portions; a short proximal and a long 
distal portion. From the cephalic margin of the proximal portion 
arises a Short seta. 
‘Second foot of female (Fig. 6) composed of five joints, the joints 
diminishing in size from the second to the most distal joint. The most 
proximal joint bears at about its proximo-caudal angle a long plumose 
seta which is as long as the joint; and from the distal third of its 
cephalad margin arises a somewhat shorter seta. From the distal 
fourth of the cephalic margin of the antepenultimate joint arises a seta. 
From a corresponding point on the penultimate joint there also arises 
aseta. From the extremity of the terminal joint arise two long and 
two short sete. The two long sete are about as long as the entire 
limb. 
The two shorter sete are but little longer than the terminal joint. 
Post-abdomen (Fig. 7) is curved, bearing one terminal claw and at 
its base a short terminal spine. On the convex surface there is a sub- 
terminal claw. 
Verticillate sac (Fig. &) of male as usual in this genus. It seems to 
be enclosed by a transparent capsule. 
Habitat: This species is abundant among the grass and weeds of 
many shallow ponds. It has been found at the following places: 
‘Cincinnati, Ohio (Turner, 213); Atlanta, Georgia (Turner, 215); Fay- 
-ette County, Georgia (Turner, 216).
