 ten joints mucli shorter than broad, eighteenth and 

 twentieth joints the longest, being three or four times 

 as long as broad ; the whole limb is sparingly clothed 

 with slender setae on its outer margin ; the posterior

 minute secondary branch attached near the middle of 

 its first joint ; the extremity of the mandible is dis- 

 tinctly divided into teeth (fig. 3); fifth foot (fig. 10) 

 composed of two joints, the first of which is small and 

 has a small spine-like process at its distal angle, the 

 second curved, elongated, about five times as long as 

 broad, and bluntly serrated at the apex. Abdomen 

 slender, the first joint elongated ; caudal segments very 

 long and slender, length nearly equalling that of the 

 first two abdominal somites, and ten or twelve times
