Diagn. Caput segmenta duo priora perasi longitudine aaquans. Processus tibialis pedum perm primi 

 paris brevissinius; margo anterior processus carpal is non serratus, margine posteriore meta- 

 carpi longior. Carpus pedum tertii ac quarti parium Don dilatatus, margine posteriore 

 recto. Pedes parium trium ultimorum subcheliformes, pedibus parium duorum prasceden- 

 tium breviores; femur angustum; metacarpus brevis, metacarpo pedum tertii ac quarti pa- 

 rium brevior. Latera segmentorum plei leviter rotundata. 



The head is as long as the first two pergonal segments. The tibial process of the first 

 pair of perawpoda is very short; the front margin of the carpal process is not serrated, 

 it is longer than the hind margin of the metacarpus. The carpus of the third and fourth 

 pairs is not dilated, the hind margin straight. The last three pairs are subcheliform, 

 shorter than the two next preceding pairs; the femur is narrow; the metacarpus is short, 

 shorter than the metacarpus of the third and fourth pairs. The lateral parts of the pleonal 

 segments are feebly rounded.
