Genus PAL^MONELLA (Dana). 



Palsemoni affinis, rostro tenui, laminato, elongate, pedibus 4 anticis che- 

 latis, 2dis majoribus, antennis internis cum tribus flagellis instructis, 

 mandibulo palpigero. Palpus mandibularis perbrevis, 2-articidatus.

 anterior feet chelate, and second pair the larger, the inner antenna? 

 with three flagella, mandibles palpigerous. Palpus of mandibles 

 very short, two-jointed. Two of the flagella of the inner antennas 

 united nearly to their tips. 



In both of the species of the genus here described, the carapax has 

 two spines below the eye in nearly the same horizontal line. The 

 outer maxillipeds are slender, as in Pakemon. The anterior legs are 

 very slender ; the second pair moderately stout, with the hand nearly 

 cylindrical, and hardly stouter than preceding part of the leg.

Rostrum rectum, non reflexum, squama antennali non longiw, supra 

 Q-7-de?itatum, dentibus inter se fere ceque remotis, infra 2-dentatiun 

 et non dilatatum, apice acutum. Pedes 2di valde elongati, apice 

 brachii apicem rostri vix superante et infra supraque acuto, carpo 

 dimidii manus longitudine, apice spina armato, dig it is dimidio man us 

 brevioribus. Pedes 6 postici graciUimi fere nudi. 



Beak straight, not reflexed, not longer than basal scale of outer an-
