CYPROIDEA. 2287 



The second pair of maxillce consist of a short base, supporting two 

 broadly divergent extremities; one slender, directed forward, termi- 

 nating in a few short setae ; the other stouter, though of about the 

 same length, directed backward, and with a single spine at apex. 

 There are three short setae on the posterior margin of the base. 



The first pair of feet are five-jointed excluding the long arcuate 

 spiniform joint in which they terminate. The third joint is much 

 smaller than the second, and about equals the fourth and fifth ; the 

 fifth is the shortest ; the terminal is one-third longer than the three 

 preceding together. 



The second pair of feet is as long as the preceding, and consists of 

 five joints. The fourth is much the largest ; the fifth is nearly half 

 shorter, and appeared to have at apex two very short claws. 



The abdomen terminates in two long slender stylets ; each has a 

 stout naked seta at apex, which is a little shorter than the stylet, and 

 also two shorter setae from the margin near apex, and also another 

 short additional one at apex.
