line two small subconical protuberances, probably rudiments of legs, 
and more laterally two pairs of short hairs as in the preceding 
family. — The legs are all similar in structure, short and robust; 
a metatarsus is not marked off, but, considering the features met 
with in the Eurypauropodidæ, this character is perhaps of generic 
value. The structure of the feet is mentioned in the diagnosis and 
on p. 335—336. 
Only one genus is known. The animals have been found in 
Austria and Italy. 
Brachypauropus Latzel, 1884. 
Diagnosis. The lower antennal branch with the anterior mar- 
gin longer than the posterior and the anterior flagellum longer than 
the other; the globulus with the transverse diameter somewhat 
shorter than the stalk. The sternum of the anal segment with 
two pairs of setæ, viz. the posterior and the anterior pairs, while 
the lateral pair is wanting. All pairs of legs without metatarsus. 
Remarks. This diagnosis is rather meagre, but it contains 
the features which I, judging from the differences between Stylo- 
Ppauropus and Pauropus, must suppose to be of generic value. It 
must be emphasized that our knowledge of the Eurypauropodidæ 
is scanty, and if I had had the good fortune to study a number of 
species of that family I should perhaps have found it advisible to 
accept more characters in the definition of Brachypauropus.  Fur- 
thermore it must be mentioned that I have ventured to suppose 
that Br. hamiger Latz. agrees with my new species as to the num- 
ber and arrangement of the setæ on the anal segment.

"Material. One adult and well-preserved male. 
" Head (fig. 3b). The eyes occupy only a portion of the mar- 
gin of the head (besides somewhat of its lower side) and nothing 
of its dorsal surface; each eye looks as a moderately flattened disk
