CYCLOPOIDEA. HQ§ 



antennae have a seta a little longer than others at the apex of the 

 fourth joint from the apex; those setae near the base were mostly about 

 two diameters of their joints in length. The four terminal joints are 

 short, and so also their setae, except the anterior apical seta, which is 

 as long as two joints. 



The posterior of the cephalothorax has a tooth either side of the 

 abdomen, some distance within the long acute points. The abdomen 

 appears distorted, it having an angle on the left near the middle, and 

 an acute process above (see fig. 4 a and c). The beak is short and 

 directed downward, or is but a little inflexed.
