THE FAIRY SHRIMPS (PHYLLOPODA) 675 



77 (76) Shell globose with 13 lines of growth; umbones prominent, one- 

 third length of shell from anterior end. 



Estheria setosa Pearse 1913. 



This species resembles Estheria belfragei in many respects but is easily 

 distinguished by the smaller number of lines of growth and the length of 

 the dorsal setae at the anterior edge of the telson. Collected in eastern 

 Nebraska from small pools.

79 (80) Shell swollen; umbones rather prominent, one-fourth length of shell 



from anterior end; dorsal margin short, suddenly sloping at

 the smaller ones Estheria mexicana Claus 1 860. 



A species of very wide range extending from Lake Winnipeg
