nent processes (hi) at either anterior angle, and another (hr) centrally 

 in front; also two just posterior to the front central process on the 

 under surface (hs) which are soft fleshy. 



The first pair of maxilla {i, ci, hi) are stout oblong appendages, having 

 a short thick base, with an oblong one-jointed extremity. The base 

 appears to have two articulations across its upper extremity, and the 

 inner side ; there are three lobes on this side which bear clusters of 

 stout setae. The extremity of the maxilla is obtuse, and there is a 

 tuft of stout setulose setae at apex, besides three on the outer margin 

 below. 



The second pair of maxilla (k, ck, kk) are thick and stout organs, 

 with a broad truncate summit, and a very small joint at one apex, 

 which bears two small one-jointed processes. The extremity and 

 edge are tufted with stout setulose setae, and the lower side bears a 

 very broad and oblong lamina, which is elegantly fringed with long 

 plumose setae. A side view is shown in figures h and ck, and a ventral 

 view in hk. 



The third pair of maxillce (I) in a ventral view is seen between the 

 preceding pair, as shown in figure h, at I. In figure c, a side view, 

 it is seen to project below the second pair of maxillse. The organ 

 consists of an oblong subrectangular base, and a broad joint proceeding 

 from its side. There are several setulose setae at the apex of the base, 

 and others at the apex of the second joint. Both joints have the 

 apex very broad, and that of the base is somewhat lobed. The setae 

 are setulose, those of the base tufted setulose. 



The feet, or next pair of appendages, are very long and slender ver- 

 miform. About the extremity there are several setae, which are arti- 

 culated through their apical half, and furnished at the articulations 

 with minute and very short reversed setules. The apical of these setae 

 are longest and reversed. At the apex of the organ there is a minute 

 spirally incurved spine. 



The abdomen (en) is two-jointed; the basal segment very short. 

 The extremity is very oblique, and furnished with two sets of cor- 

 neous setae, eight or ten in each.
