T)iagn. Caput magnura, segmenta quattuor prima peraäi longitudine ajquans. Segmenta omnia percei 

 ]ibeva. Carpus pedum perrei primi paris dilatatus, productus; margo anterior processus 

 carpalis dimidio inarginis posterioris metacarpi haud brevins. Carpus pedum secundi paris 

 valde productus; margo anterior processus carpalis marginem posteriorem metacarpi longitu- 

 dine sequans. Metacarpus pedum primi et secundi parium spinis destitutus; dactylus longus. 

 Pedes tertii ac quarti parium pedibus parium duorum prajcedentium longiores, spinis desti- 

 tuti. Pedes parium trium ultimorum duobus prfficedentibus longiores spinis destituti; dac- 

 tylus dimidio metacarpi brevior; carpus pedum quinti paris tibia paullo longior. Latera 

 segmentorum plei i-otundata. Pedunculus pedum uri ultimi paris ter longior quam latior. 

 Pedes uri secundi piaris pedibus tertii paris longiores(?). Tehon latins quam longius(?), 

 dimidio pedunculi pedum uri ultimi paris brevius. 



Ttie head is large, as long as thc first fovu- perajonal segments together. All the piercvonal 

 segments are free. The carpus of the first pair of percvopoda is diiated and produced; the 

 front margin of the carpal process is almost half as long as the hind margin of the meta- 

 carpus. The carpus of the second pair is much produced; the front margin of tlie carpal 

 process is as long as the hind margin of the metacarpus. The metacarpus of the first and 

 second pairs is naked, without spines; the dactylus is long. The third and fourth pairs 

 are longer thau the two preceding pairs, and without spines. Tiie last three pairs are 

 longer than the two j^receding pairs, and without sjjines; the dactylus is not half as 

 long as the metacarpus. The lateral parts of the pleonal segments are rounded. The 

 peduncle of the last pair of u7'opoda is three times as long as broad. The second pair of 

 uropoda are longer than the third pair(?). The telson is broader than it is long(?), and 

 shortcr than half the peduncle of the last pair of uropoda.
