0ieknuden (se Fig. 1 a, 1 c) er sserdeles lav, jevnt af- 
rundet og beliggende ved den bagrc Trediedel al Iloved- 
segmeutets Lauigde, eller lige over Basis ai Halsen. Be 4 
Lindser er (se Fig. 1 e) forholdsvis smaa og temrnelig 
vidt adskilte; til enliver af deni barer eii skarpt begrsendset 
bsegerformig Ansamling at morkt Pigment, hvis Spids ven- 
der mod Centrum at' Oieknuden. 
Snabelen er (se Fig. 1 a, 1 b, 1 c) betydelig korteie 
end Ho v edsegmentet, horizontalt tortilrettet og ai konisk 
Form. Spidsen er (se fig. 1 d) uddragct til en kort Mam- 
mille, hvorpaa Mundaabningen er beliggende. Den er dike 
som hos foregaaende Slsegt, omgivet at nogen egentlig Borste- 
krands, men kun, ligesom det tilgrsendsende Parti at Sna- 
belen, tint cilieret. 
Saxlemmerne (se Fig. la, lb, 1 e), der er fsestede til 
Pandedelens Sidehjarner, adskilte ved et temrnelig betydebgt 
Mellemrum, er overordentlig krattigt udviklede og at nsesten 
kolledannet Form. Skai'tet er forholdsvis tykt, cylindriskt 
og, naar uudtages nogle meget smaa Haar ved det ydie 
Hjorne, ganske glat. Haauden (Fig. 1 f) er ointrent af Skat- 
tets Lsengde, men mere end dobbelt saa bred, nsestcn kuglo - 
formigt opsvulmet og tret besat med fine Haar, dei navnlig 
lumad den ubevsegelige Finger bliver sserdeles tsette og dan- 
ner her et tykt tildtagtigt Overtrsek. Den er horizontalt 
indadrettet, saaledes, at dons Ende ialmindefighed moder den 
tilsvarendc paa den anden Side lige under Spidsen af Sna- 
belen (se Fig. 1 b). Fingrene er korte og tykke, paa langt 
nmr ikke af Palmens Lsengde, og sfierkt cbitiniserede navn- 
lig i Spidsen, som derved antager en mork bornbrun h arve. 
Den ubevsegelige Finger, som i Haandens naturlige Stilling 
ligger fortil, er ikke tydeligt. afsat fra Palmen, bvis uinid- 
delbare Fortssettelse den danner. Den er forsynet indad 
med en lamelleformig Fortsats, der er tint tandet i Kanten 
og egentlig udgaar fra den nedreFlade, medens selve Kan- 
ten af Fingeren viser sig indenfor den bageformigt krum- 
mede Spids dybt indbugtet og lamgere bagtil forsynet med 
et tandformigt Fremspring (se Fig. 1 t). Den bevsegelige 
Finger, der er betydelig smalere end den ubevsegelige, bar 
paa Midten et lignende tandformigt Fremspring, der, naai 
Saxen er lukket, griber ind mellem det tilsvarende Frem- 
spring paa den ubevsegelige Finger og den lamelleformige 
Fortsats. 
Af Folere er der, ligesaalidt som hos de 1 det fore- 
gaaende omtalte Pycnogonideer, det mindste 'Spor at opdage 
(se Fig. 1 b). 
De falske Fodder (se Fig. 1 b), der hver artikulerer 
med et fra Siderne af Halsen tset foran de forreste Sidefort- 
satser udgaaende knudeformigt Fremspring, bestaar bos 
begge Kjon af 10 Led og ender med en vel udviklet, skjondt 
ikke meget lang Klo Som sadvanlig or disse Lemmer bos 
Hannerne steorkere udviklede end hos Ilunnerne, og er bos 
de farste lige udstrakte, nasten H/s Gang langere end Le- 
"emet. hvad der vasentlig skyides den betydeligere Stor- 
relse af 5te Led. Medens detto Led hos Hunnerne (se Fig. 1) 
neppe er langere end det foregaaende, er det her (se Fig. 
1 b) fuldkommen lige saa langt som de 2 foregaaende til- 
The oculiferous tubercle (see fig. 1 a, 1 c) is exceedingly 
low, evenly rounded, and placed on the posterior longitudinal 
third-part of the cephalic segment, or immediately above the 
base of the neck. The 4 lenses (se fig. 1 e) are compara- 
tively small and rather fax apart; to each of them belongs 
a sharply defined cup-shaped aggregation ol dark pigment, 
whose point is directed towards the centre ol the oculiferous 
tubercle. 
The proboscis (see fig. 1 a, 1 b, 1 c) is considerably 
shorter than the cephalic segment, oi a conical form, and 
directed horizontally forwards. The point (see fig. 1 d) is 
drawn out to a short mamiUa, on which occurs the oral 
opening. It is not, as in the preceding genus, surrounded 
by a definite wreath af setse, but like the adjacent part ot 
the proboscis is only finely ciliated. 
The chelifori (sec fig. 1 a. 1 b, 1 c), attached to the 
lateral corners of the frontal part, and separated by a con- 
siderable interval, are most powerfully developed and well- 
nigh claviforrn. The scape is relatively thick, cylindric, and, 
saving a few very short hairs at the outer corner, perfectly 
smooth. The hand (fig. f f) measures about the length of 
the scape, but is more than twice as broad, almost glo- 
bularly tumified, and densely beset with fine hairs, which, 
down the immobile finger especially, become exceedingly dense, 
constituting here a thick, felt-like covering. It points hori- 
zontally inwards, in such manner a.5 generally to meet at 
its end the corresponding one of the other side, immediately 
under the tip of the proboscis (see fig. 1 b). Ihe fingers 
are short and thick, not nearly attaining the length of die 
palm, and are highly chitinized, in particular at the point, 
which thereby 'acquires a dark horny-brown colour. The 
immobile finger, which in the natural position ot the hand is 
located anteriorly, is not distinctly defined from the palm, of 
which it is a direct continuation. It is furnished inwards 
with a lamelliform process, finely dentated on the edge and 
really issuing from the lower surlacc, whereas the edge ot 
the finger itself appears, inside the unciform curvate point, 
deeply omarginate and farther back provided with a denti- 
form “projection (see fig. If). The mobile finger, a good 
deal narrower than the immobile, has in the middle a 
similar dentiform projection, which, ' when the chela is 
closed, interlocks with the corresponding projection on the 
immobile finger and the lamelliform process. 
As in the Pycnogonidea previously mentioned, not a 
trace of palpi can be detected (see fig. 1 b). 
The false legs (see fig. 1 b), each articulating with a 
nodular projection that issues from the sides of the neck 
just in front of the foremost lateral processes, are in both 
sexes composed of 10 joints, and terminate with a Avell de- 
veloped although not very long claw. As usual, these limbs 
are in the male more fully developed than in the female, 
and attain in the former, when fully extended, well-nigh 
one and a half times the length of the body, chiefly owing 
to the much greater size of the 5th joint. While this 
joint in the female (see fig. 1) measures hardly as long as the 
preceding one, it is here quite as long as the 2 foregoing
