322 GEOL. AND NAT. HIST. SURVEY OF MINNESOTA. 
‘‘The post-abdomen forms two long, movable rami, which are well 
developed and terminated by two claws of unequal length, and in fine 
Specimens are serrated on their inner edge near the apex. The rami 
themselves are also serrated.’’ [In European specimens and in speci- 
mens taken by the present writer to belong to this species the abdomi- 
nal rami are not serrated. | 
Mr. Deming claims to have found the male of Cypris virens. Ihave 
reason, however, for supposing that he has confounded the males of 
some other species (perhaps C. crena) with Cypris virens. 
Habitat: Granville, Ohio (Herrick, 86).
