 angle, the posterior corners in the posterior Begmentfl being strongly and sub- 

 acutely produced. The caudal margin of the nineteenth segment alone is

The occurrence of this common European species in Tasmania and 

 New Zealand, doubtless due to introduction, is worthy of note. It 

 agrees closely with ./. fattax as represented in England and Ireland. 

 The gonopods (New Zealand specimens) seem to differ slightly in 

 having the anterior laminae rather narrower and longer with the 

 inner branches not reaching quite so near to the distal end of the 

 outer branch, though more extensive comparisons may show this 

 difference inconstant. The glandular processes of the second legs 

 are longer than wide. Segments as in the typical form.
