ME. E. J. MIEES ON THE 



Some of the genera iu the first and second sections of this sub- 

 family aj^proach the Leptopodiinse in the length of their epistoma, 

 narrow interocular space, and coalescent postabdominal segments. 

 Consequently the Acanthony chinas are to be regarded as a series 

 parallel with, rather than inferior to, the Leptopodiinse in a natural 

 arrangement. 



§ Carapace elongated, ovate-cylindrical. Rostrum elongated, emar- 

 ginate or hifurcated, JPrceocular minute, or ivanting. Eyes im- 

 mobile. Last two pairs of legs verij short. 



This section would appear to correspond with Stimpson's sub- 

 family Anomalopinse. 



Xei^ocaeciniis, White {Huenioides, K.'MilYiQ-'E^wiivdi^). (Plate 

 XII. fig. 5.) Carapace ovate-cylindrical. Prseocular spine 

 wanting, x^ntennse concealed beneath the rostrum. Type Xe- 

 nocarcinus tiibet'culatus, White. 



* Anomalothie (Anomalopus, Stimpson, nom. prseoc). Carapace 

 almost subcylindrical. Praeocular minute. Antennse visible from 

 above. Type Anomalothirfurcillatits (Stimpson). 



§§ Carapace in the male subtriangular. Bostrum simple^ acute. 

 Amhulatory legs regularly decreasing in length. 



* Eyes imrriohile. Sexes (where Jcnown) dissimilar. 



*MocosoA, Stimpson. Carapace subpentagonal. Eostrum 

 subtriangular, entire, obtuse, excavated below. Praeocular? 

 Outer maxillipedes with the merus joint short, broad, and pro- 

 duced at its antero-external angle. Anterior legs ? Type 3Io- 

 cosoa crehrepunctata, Stimpson. 



Teiqonothie, Miers. Carapace subtriangular. Eostrum en- 

 tire, obtuse, flattened below, and produced into lateral carinse. 

 Prseocular wanting. Outer maxillipedes with merus joint not 

 produced at its antero-external angle. Anterior legs rather small, 

 palm compressed. Type Trigonothir ohtusirostris, sp. n. 



A single specimen, locality uDlmown,is in theMuseum collection. 



HuENiA, JDe Haan. Eostrum slender, deep, and laterally 

 compressed, acute ; prseocular spiue small. Sexes dissimilar (the 

 carapace in the female being produced into large lateral lobes or 

 expansions). Hands compressed, cristate above. Ambulatory
