The species was received through Prof. C. W. Johnson of the Boston 

 Society of Natural History and labeled: "June 13, 1907, Hampton, 

 N. H., S. A. Shaw, 1124." It presumably has eighteen segments and 

 is easily separated from H. atlantica by the three circumfila 

 and the long uniarticulate palpi.
