Additional Notes on South African Phyllopoda. H 



The caudal filaments, on the other hand, are remarkable 

 for their poor development, as they scarcely exceed 1/3 of 

 the body. 



The 1st pair of legs (fig. 6) have the endites compara- 

 tively shorter than in A. numidicus, the outei'most (4th) 

 only exceeding the stem by 1/3 of its length. 



The next succeeding pairs (fig. 7) are constructed much 

 as in the male of A. numidicus, though the 4th endite 

 appears somewhat shorter, and projects but little beyond 

 the claw-like 5th endite. 



The 11th pair of legs (fig. 8), as in other male Apodidœ, 

 do not differ in their structure from the next preceding 

 and succeeding pairs. 



The colour of the preserved specimens is light green 

 changing to olivaceous; but this may have been different in 

 the living state. 



Occurrence. — I have had an opportunity of examining 

 3 well-preserved specimens of this form, one female and 2 

 males, all agreeing very closely in the peculiar shape of the 

 carapace, and both males having the same large number of 

 caudal segments. They were taken by Mr. W. Sculley from 

 some pond or vley in the Namaqualand, and kindly for- 

 warded to me for examination.
