The head is feebly rostrate, much longer than the first two pereional segments. The flagei- 

 lum of the first pair of antenna; is elongate-ovate, mucli longer than the head and the 

 first two pereional segments together. The p)6reio'poda are short, not hirsute. The tibia 

 of the third and fourth pairs are not tumid. The fifth and sixth pairs are only a little 

 longer than the third and fourth; the femora are broad, ovate. The last pair of uropoda 

 do not reach beyond tlie ])receding pairs. The tehon is small.

 its long superior aiitenna;>, which are iniich longer than in an^• other known species. 



The head is as long as deep. 



The eyes are small. 



The first pair of antennw have the pednncle half as long as the head, three-jointed; 

 the first joint is as long as the two folk)wing together, the flagellnra is three tinies longer 

 than the pednncle, with the apex acute. 



The second i-xdr of aiitennce are slender, not longer than the first paii-. 



The first pereional segment is as long as the second, the fourth is the longe.st. 



The first two pairs of pereiopoda are short, slender. The lo\\er hinder corner of 

 the carpus of the second pair is produced anteriorly.
