 4. Description of a New Species of Nymphon. By H. D. Goodsir, Esq. 



This valuable paper we extract entire. 



" Nymphon giganteum. — With the palpi twice as long as the ros- 

 trum, and the two last joints of equal length ; with the pincers of the 

 mandibles very long, slender, and linear ; and with the oviferous legs 

 longer than the first four joints of the ambulatory legs. 



"Description — The whole animal of a straw colour, except the 

 proximal extremities of the joints of the legs, which are pink-coloured. 

 Two joints of the mandibles somewhat long and rather powerful : 

 the pincers are weak, slender, and almost linear. The palpi are 

 larger than the mandibles, five-jointed, slender, and the first or 

 proximal joint is about one sixth the length of the second ; the se- 

 cond rather longer than the third, and clavate ; the fourth and fifth 

 equal, which last is ovate and slender. The rostrum is hardly so long 

 as the first joint of the mandible, and is almost linear, having a very 

 slight dilatation about the middle. It is concealed altogether on 

 each side, by the mandibles and palpi, and very slightly superiorly, 

 by the mandibles alone. The first segment of the body is much 

 larger than any of the following, and is very much dilated anteriorly, 

 for the attachment of the organs just described ; posteriorly, it is also 

 dilated, and gives attachment on either side to the oviferous legs, and 

 dorsally to the occeliferous tubercle, which is erect and truncated. 

 The oviferous legs are very strong, and have the two middle joints 

 robust and short ; the distal joints are hispid. The ambulatory legs 

 are long and slender; the two tarsal joints equal of length, claw 

 strong. Span of the legs 6 inches. 



" The above described Nymphon is very similar in its characters to 

 Nymphon Johnstoni. The forms, however, of the mandibles, palpi 

 and oviferous legs, are very different and sufficiently strong to justify 

 the formation of a new species.
