what smaller and a weak pectinate seta one-fifth the length of the 
stylet from the end; palp of mandible very bristly. The intromittant. 
organ of the male is more simple than those hitherto described, con- 
sisting of a broad, flat basal segment on either side, with a coiled 
ductus ejaculatorius and a funnel-shaped terminal portion consisting 
of two opposable flaps. The basal segment is indistinctly two jointed 
and those of both sides are seated on a common prominence. 
‘*Length of male 1.70 mm., of female 2.16 mm.; height of male 0.84 
mm., of female 1.24 mm. The above measurements are too large, but 
express the correct proportions. It is one of the smaller species.’’ 
Habitat: ? Alabama (Herrick, 86). 
GENUS CYPRIDOPSIS Brady. 1868. 
The antennule is seven-jointed. 
The antenna is five-jointed. The five natatory sete on the third 
joint are plumose. 
The branchia of the second maxilla consists either of a plate bear- 
ing five plumose set or else of two setze which are inserted directly 
on the blade. 
The second foot is five-jointed and bears, near its extremity, a 
strong chitinous claw. 
The abdominal rami are rudimentary. 7 
The members of this species seem to be exclusively parthenogenetic.
