Artscfiaracter. Legcinet af undersastsig Form, lint, 
laaddent oventil, med Sidefortsatserne tret sammentramgte 
og kortere end Kroppens Brede. Hovedsegmentet omtrent 
saa langt som de 3 folgende Segmenter tilsammen, Halsen 
sserdeles kort og tyk, Pandedelen temmelig brad, Haleseg- 
mentet noget opadrettet. Gieknuden forholdsvis lav, stumpt 
tilrundet. Snabelen kortere end Hovedsegmentet. Sax- 
lemmerne smaa, tmt og kort haarede, Haanden betydelig 
kortere end Skaftet, med Palmen jevnt bred og lamgere 
end Fingrene, der med samme danner en udprmget Vinkel. 
Folerne ualmindelig smaa, 2det Led storst, sidste Led ai- 
rundet ovalt, neppe kortere end naestsidste. De falske 
Fodder omtrent af Legemets Lsengde, Randtornerne smaa, 
noget krummede og utydeligt saugtakkede. Gangfodderne 
kort laadne overall, ualmindelig robuste, noget sammen- 
trykte, neppe 3 Gange lasngere end Legemet, 2det Laegled 
jevnt bredt, omtrent 2 1 /-, Gange lsengere end det terminate 
Afsnit, Tarsalleddet ligesaa bredt som langt, Fodleddet 
omtrent 3 Gauge saa langt, noget opsvulmet i sit basale 
Parti, med en Rad af circa 8 strerke, udad i Ltengde til- 
tageude Torner i Inderkanten ; Endekloen halvt saa lang 
som Fodleddet, stserkt krummet; Bikloerne vel udviklede, 
af Endekloens halve Lsengde. Legemets Lsengde 6"""; 
Spandvidde 33""”. 
Bemserkninger. At den her omhaudlede Form er 
identisk med den af Kroyer under ovenstaaende Navn be- 
skrevne og afbildede Art. antager jeg for givet, og dette 
bekrseftes ogsaa ved den nylig af Dr. Hansen meddelte, 
temmelig udforlige Diagnose. Derimod holder jeg det for 
meget tvivlsomt, hvorvidt Kroyer’s og Fabricius’s Art er 
den samme, og maa fremdeles fastholde, at der er vel saa 
hand, N. hirtum Kroyer, and on the other, N. macronyx 
G. 0. Sars. Of exotic forms, N. brevicaudatum Miers 
(hispidum Hoek), from Kerguelen, belongs unquestionably 
to tlie same genus. The number of species amounts there- 
fore, at present, to not less than 5.

Specific Characters. Body thickset in form, delicately 
pubescent above, with the lateral processes closely crowded 
together and shorter than the trunk is broad. Cephalic 
segment about as long as the 3 following segments taken 
together, neck exceedingly short and thick, frontal part 
rather broad, caudal segment directed somewhat upwards. 
Oculiferous tubercle comparatively low, obtusely xounded. 
Proboscis shorter than the cephalic segment. Chelifori 
small, densely and shortly hispid, hand considerably shorter 
than the scape, with the palm uniformly broad, and longer 
than the fingers, which make with the former a prominent 
angle. Palpi remarkably small, 2nd joint largest, last 
joint rounded oval, hardly shorter than the penultimate 
one. False legs about the length of the body, marginal 
spines small, somewhat bent and indistinctly serrated. 
Ambulatory legs everywhere shortly hispid, uncommonly 
robust, somewhat compressed, scarcely 3 times longer than 
the body, 2nd tibial joint uniformly broad, about two and 
a half times longer than the terminal section, tarsal joint 
as broad as long, propodal joint about 3 times as long, 
somewhat swollen in its basal part, with a row of about 
8 strong spines on the inner edge, increasing in length 
outwards; terminal claw half as long as the propodal 
joint, strongly bent; auxiliary claws well developed, half 
the length of the terminal claw'. Length of body 6’””'; 
extent 33”"". 
Remarks. That the form treated of here, is identical 
with the species described and figured by Kroyer under 
the above name, I assume to be certain, and the rather 
full diagnosis lately given by Dr. Hansen tends to establish 
this. On the other hand, I regard it to be highly 
doubtful whether Kroyer’s and Fabricius’s species is the 
same form, and must still maintain, that there is quite as
