The head is obtusely rostrate, as bjng as tlie first two pereional segments. The ei/es are 

 niiddle-sized. The flagelluni uf thc first pair of autenna' is narrow, acutc, as long as tiic liead 

 The pereiojioda are elongated. The feniora of the first and second pairs are narruw, liiiear. 

 The carpal process of the second pair is as long as the metacarpus: tlie nietacarjius is 

 produced at the apex, forming two sharp processes at the liase of tiie dactylus. Thc tibia^ nf 

 the third and fourtli pairs are not tumid; the dactyli very long. The fifth and sixth pairs 

 are longer tlian thc; third and fourth, the femora are broad, linear. Thc sixtii jjair are 

 longer than the fifth; the metacarinis is elongated; the dactylus very long. The femur of the 

 seventh pair is small: the dactylus is iinich shorter than the metacarpus. The second aud 

 third nral segments are coalesced. Thc hinder corners of the last segment are proiluced, 

 forming processes shorter than the teison. Tlie pedinicles of the xrupvda are linear, as 

 long as the rami. The teison is elongate, rounded behind, longer than half the peduncle 

 of the last pair of uro])oda.

Tiic body is liroad, robust; the integinnent is thick and härd. 



The head is almost as long as deep, equalling the first three pereional segments in 

 length, produced anteriorh' into a \'erv short obtuse rostrum. 



The eyeis are rather large, broadlv ovate, consisting each of aboiit 40 ocelli. 



The first pair of antennce (Pl. X, fig. 16) are of the same form as in the two pre- 

 ceding species; the first joint of the flagellum is more than twice as long as the peduncle- 

 The two terminal joints are very niinute, almost obsolete.
