 Diminished copy from Giles, Amphip. Beng. pi. 6, tig. 1. 



Diilgn. Caput magnum, segmenta quattuor prima perai longitudine aequans. Segmenta omnia perm 

 libera. Carpus pedum percei primi paris dilatatus, productus; margo anterior processus 

 carpalis dimidio marginis posterioris metacarpi haud brevius. Carpus pedum secundi paris 

 valde productus; margo anterior processus carpalis margincm posteriorem metacarpi lougitu- 

 dine tequaus. Metacarpus pedum primi et secundi parium spinis destitutus; dactylus longus. 

 Pedes tertii ac quarti parium pedibus parium duorum praacedentium longiores, spinis desti- 

 tuti. Pedes parium trium ultimorum duobus praecedentibus longiores spinis destituti; dac- 

 tylus dimidio metacarpi brevior; carpus pedum quinti paris tibia paullo longior. Latera 

 segmentorum phi rotundata. Pedunculus pedum uri ultimi paris ter longior quam latior. 

 Pedes uri secundi paris pedibus tertii paris longiores(?). Telson latius quam longius(?), 

 dimidio pedunculi pedum uri ultimi paris brevius. 



The head is large, as long as the first four perasonal segments together. All the perceonal 

 segments are free. The carpus of the first pair of pera'opoda is dilated and produced; the 

 front margin of the carpal process is almost half as long as the hind margin of the meta- 

 carpus. The carpus of the second pair is much produced; the front margin of the carpal 

 process is as long as the hind margin of the metacarpus. The metacarpus of the first and 

 second pairs is naked, without spines; the dactylus is long. The third and fourth pairs 

 are longer than the two preceding pairs, and without spines. The last three pairs are 

 longer than the two preceding pairs, and without spines; the dactylus is not half as 

 long as the metacarpus. The lateral parts of the phonal segments are rounded. The 

 peduncle of the last pair of uropoda is three times as long as broad. The second pair of 

 uropoda are longer than the third pair (?). The telson is broader than it is long(?), and 

 shorter than half the peduncle of the last pair of uropoda.
