met! Dohrn at antage, at de 2 smaa oven for omtalte torn- 
formige Fvemspring paa den ovro Side af Hovedsegmentets 
Pandodel reprmsemierer et ubetyd<digt Rudiment af de hos 
Larverne tydeligt udviklede Saxlemmer, ligesom on buefor- 
mig Ohitinliste paa Siderne af dette Segments FTalsdel (se 
Pig. 3 a) antyder dot Sted, hvor hos Larverne de til Po- 
lerne svarende Lemtner har havt sin Plads. 
De falske Fodder (Fig. 3 f), der som hos foregaaende 
Slaegt kun er tilstede hos Hannerne (se Pig. 3 c, 3 d), er 
forholdsvis betydelig kraftigere udviklede end hos denne 
Shegt og lige udstrakte mere end halvt saa lange som hele 
Legemet. Som hos anclre Pycnogonideer er de fmstede paa 
liver Side til et knudeformigt fra Hovedsegmentets Halsdel 
udgaaende Fremspring, umiddelhart foran Legemets forreste 
Sidefortsatser, og er hoiede ind under Ivroppen, viscnde 
en udprteget S-formig Krumning. De er kun saminensatte 
af 7 Led, meget ulige i Lsesngde og hesatte med korte, 
som oftest hageformigt omhoiede og uden nogen Orden for- 
delte Torner. Hvad Leddenes iudbyrdos Forhold angaar, 
saa er det Istc forholdsvis kort og tykt, hvorimod 2det er 
strerkt forlsenget, mere end dobbelt saa langt. De 2 fol- 
gende Led er igjen adsldlligt kortere og tilsammen neppe 
betydelig lamgere end 2det, 5 to derimod mere forlsenget, 
skjondt kortere end 2det, og meget stserkt krummet. tite 
Led er af oval eller elliptisk Form og har ved Enden en 
skaalformig Fordyhning, fra livis Bund det yderst lille 7de 
eller sidste lied rager frem. Dette er af trekantet Form 
og uden Klo, men tbrsynet i den indre Kant med 2 korte 
Torner af samme Beskaffenhed som de ovrige paa. disse 
Lemnier fsestede. 
Gangtodderne (se Fig. 3) er saerdelqs spinkle, naisten 
3 Gauge lamgere end Legemet, og hesatte med spredte 
Torner af noget ulige Storrelse. 2det Hofteled er temme- 
lig stserkt forlamget, mere end dobbelt saa langt som de 2 
ovrige tilsammen og noget indknebet ved Basis. Det har 
paa Undersiden user Spidsen hos hegge Kjon en hos Hun- 
nen starve, hos Hannen betydelig mindre Aabning til Ud- 
temmelse af Kjonsstoffene; hos Hannerne synes dog disse 
Aabninger ganske at mangle paa IsteFodpar. Laarleddet 
er af betydelig Storrelse, omtrent dobbelt saa langt som 
hele Hoftepartiet, og gaar ved Spidsen paa den ydre Side 
ud i en konisk, med 2 ulige lange Torner bevsebnet Fort- 
sats. Hos Hunnen er dette Led mere eller mindre op- 
svulmet paa Grand af de i (lets Indre sig udviklende rEg 
og liar paaMidten 2 skraat overfor hinanden stillede tem- 
melig stserke Torner. lsto L.eglcd er kortere end Laar- 
leddet, hvorimod 2det er omtrent at samme Lamgde som 
dette, begge af lineaerForm og hesatte med temmelig lige- 
lig udviklede Torner. larsalleddet (se Fig. 3 b) er s;or- 
deles lidet og meget bevasgeligt forbundet med foregaaende 
Led. Det er al uregelnnessig afrundet Form, stserkt ud- 
randet i Enden og udad springende- frem i en smal, med 
2 smaa Burster besat Lap; dets indre Kant er stmrkt ud- 
reason to assume with Dohrn, that the 2 small spiniform 
projections mentioned above, on the upper surface of the 
frontal portion of the cephalic segment, represent a slight 
rudiment of the chelifori, distinctly developed iii the larvae, as 
also an arched cliitinous fillet on either side of the neck- 
part of that segment (see fig. 3 a) indicates the place 
whence, in the larvae, the limbs corresponding to the palpi 
had their origin. 
The false legs (fig. 3 f), which, as in the preceding 
genus, are present in the males only (see figs. 3 c, 3 d), 
have relatively a much more powerful development 
than in that genus, and measure, fully extended, upwards 
of half the length of the whole body. As in other Pyc- 
nogonids, they are affixed on either side to a knob-shaped 
projection issuing from the neck-part of the cephalic seg- 
ment, immediately anterior to the first pair of lateral pro- 
cesses of the body, and are bent in under the trunk, ex- 
hibiting a marked S-shaped curve. They are composed of 
only 7 joints, very unequal in length, and beset with short 
spines, as a rule unguiform-recurvous, and distributed 
without any order whatever. Concerning the relative size 
of the joints, the 1st is comparatively short and thick, 
whereas the 2nd is very considerably produced, nay more 
than twice as long. The 2 succeeding joints, again, are a 
good deal shorter, and, taken together, hardly much longer 
than the 2nd; the 5th on the other hand is more elong- 
ate, though shorter than the 2nd, and very much curved. 
The 6th joint is oval or elliptic in form, and has at the 
end a bowl-shaped depression , from the bottom of 
which the exceedingly small 7th, or terminal, joint is seen 
to protrude. This joint is of triangular form and without 
any claw, hut provided on its inner margin with 2 short 
spines, similar in character to the others affixed to those 
limbs. 
The ambulatory legs (see fig. 3) are remarkably 
slender, almost 3 times longer than the body, and beset 
with scattered spines of somewhat unequal size. The 2nd 
coxal joint is a good deal produced, more than twice as 
long as the 2 others taken together, and somewhat constricted 
at the base. On the under surface, it has, near - the extrem- 
ity; in both sexes, au opening, — for the female comparatively 
large, for the male much smaller, — to evacuate the genera- 
tive matter; in the males, this opening would appear to 
be entirely wanting on the 1st pair of legs. The femoral 
joint is of considerable size, about double the length of 
the whole coxal part, and protends at the point on the 
outer surface as a conic projection, armed with 2 unequally 
long spines. In the female, this joint is more or less 
swollen, owing to the eggs in course of development within, 
and exhibits moreover, placed obliquely opposite one 
to the other, 2 rather powerful spines. The 1st tibial 
joint is shorter than the femoral joint, whereas the 2nd is 
about of the same length; both are linear in form and beset 
with well-nigh equably developed spines. The tarsus (see 
fig. 3 b) is exceedingly small, and very inovably connected 
with the preceding joint. It has an irregular rounded 
form, being deeply emarginated at the extremity, and
