The epipod of the first maxilliped is destitute of branchial filaments, 

 a condition rarely found among the Parastacince. The stems of the 

 podobranchiee are alate. The posterior arthrobranchia of the thir- 

 teenth somite is a simple, slender filament. Coxopoditic setas long, 

 hooked at the free end. 



Habitat. — Talcahuano, Chile, Ko. 3400, Coll. Mus. Comp. Zool., (Hass- 

 ler Exped., April, 1872). Nine males, eight females (two ovig.). 



The egg measures 3.5 by 2.5 mm. 



In nine out of fourteen specimens the larger claw is on the left side. 



Judging from the form of the body, this is probably not a burrowing 

 species.
