248 Part III. — Tenth Annual Report 



Posterior antennae three-jointed, middle joint long, secondary branch five- 

 jointed, shorter than the primary branch. Mouth organs as in Pseudocy- 

 clopia crassicornis. In the first pair of swimming feet the first joint of 

 the outer branch is about as long as the other two together, while the 

 one-jointed inner branch is longer than the first joint of the outer one. 

 Each of the three joints of the outer branch is armed with a large spine at 

 the outer distal angle • both branches are furnished with several plumose 

 setse. The second pair is similar to those of Pseud ocyclopia crassicornis. 

 The third and fourth pairs are also similar to those of that species, but 

 the spine which springs from the inner distal angle of the first basal joint 

 of the third pair is curved, and is longer and more powerful, and extends 

 beyond the extremity of the outer branch. The fifth pair of feet in the 

 female are very small and somewhat resemble those of Pseudocyclopia 

 crassicornis, but the extremity is bluntly rounded and provided with three 

 spinous setse, the middle one of which is the longest. The fifth pair in 

 the male form very powerful grasping organs ; the left (?) foot consists of 

 two very long branches, one of which is four-jointed, and one five-jointed ; 

 the basal point of the first (the four-jointed branch) is moderately short 

 and dilated, the second joint is very small, the third elongate and 

 geniculate, and bearing a curved spine at the inner distal angle ; the last 

 joint is long and slender, with a rounded extremity ; the third and fourth 

 joints of the other branch (which is rather longer than the first) are 

 elongate and slender, while the last joint is very short and produced into 

 a digitiform process. The right (?) foot consists of a single four-jointed 

 branch, the breadth of the first two joints of which is rather greater than 

 the length ; the third joint is elongate, and bears exteriorly on its lower 

 half a dense fringe of plain spinous hairs, and two stout spines interiorly 

 The last joint, which is very short, has three small subapical lobes. 

 Abdomen in the male five-jointed, in the female four-jointed. The second 

 and third joints of the female abdomen are produced posteriorly on each 

 side of the median dorsal line into sharp angular processes as shown in 

 the figures (fig, 9) ; the male abdomen wants the dorsal processes pos- 

 sessed by that of the female. Caudal stylets short, each furnished with 

 four long, plumose, terminal hairs, the two middle ones being stout and 

 spiniform. 



Habitat. — Off St Monans, Firth of Forth Several specimens of this 

 species were obtained 



Family HARPACTiciDiE. 



Neobradya, nov, gen. (provisional name), 



Near Brady a y Boeck, in form and structure. Anterior antennas nine- 

 or ten-jointed, scarcely if at all longer than the first body segment ; those 

 of the male hinged and adapted for grasping. Posterior antenna? large, 

 three-jointed ; secondary branch of posterior antennas, four-jointed, the 

 first joint as long as the entire length of the* other three. Mandibles well 

 developed, possessing a broad biting part, and a large two-branched palp, 

 one of the branches of which is one- and the other four-jointed. Maxillae 

 somewhat as in Longipedia. Anterior foot-jaws stout, five-jointed, the 

 first joint rather longer than the second, and furnished with three digiti- 

 form lobes, .the three last joints small. Posterior foot-jaws not uncinate, 

 resembling somewhat those of Bradya. Both branches of the first pair of 

 swimming feet three-jointed and about equal in length. The outer branches 

 of the second, third, and fourth pairs three-jointed ; the inner branches 

 two-jointed ; the fifth pair small foliaceous.
