Gen. 12. Eurycyde, Schodte, 1857. 
Syn: Zetes, Kroyer. 
Slsegtscliaraeter. Legemet forholdsvis plumpt, med 
skarpt afsatte Segmenter og ualmindelig lange Sidefortsat- 
ser. Hovedsegraentet med lidet udviklet Pandedel og staerkt 
udstaaende Halsfortsatser til Freste for de falske Fodder. 
Halesegmentet horizontalt, tenformigt udvidet. i sit. vdre 
Parti. 0ieknuden meget smal og stserkt ophoiet, med 
tydeligt udviklede Synselementer. Snabelen af middel- 
maadig Storrelse og tendannet Form, indlcddet pa.a et 
smalt cylindriskt Skaft og omboiet mod BugsidVn. Sax- 
lemmerne smale og forkengede, Skaftet 2-leddet, Haanden 
meget liden og bos voxne Individer uden tydelig Chela. 
Folerne stserkt forlamgede zigzagformigt boiede, 10-leddede. jj 
De falske Fodder al normal Bygning, 10-leddede, Rand- 
tornerne i en dobbelt Rad. saugtakkede. Endekloen tydelig. 
Gangfodderne spinkle, besatte med stserke Borster, Hofte- 
leddene bos Hunnen opsvulmede, Tarsalleddet meget lidet. 
Fodleddet forlsenget, Endekloen kort, uden Bikloer. 
Bemserkninger. Den af Kroyer foreslaaede Skegts- 
bemevnelse Zetes bar ikke kunnet bibeholdes da dette Navn 
allerede tidligere bar vseret anvendt paa en Midde-Skegt, 
og er derfor af Prof. Schodte ombyttet med Bensevnelsen 
Eurycyde. Slmgten er vel characteriseret ved Snabelens 
og Saxlemmernes Bygning og skiller sig i begge disse 
Henseender vaesentlig saavel fra folgende Slsegt som fra 
den af Dohrn opstillede Skegt Bar ana, skjondt den for- 
ovrigt viser mange Overensstemmelser med disse Former. 
Ligeledes kommer den meget user den af Wl. Schimke- 
witsch opstillede Skegt Nymphopsis, uden imidlertid at 
kunne forenes med samme. Slsegten indeholder saaledes 
for Tiden kun en Art, nemlig den af Kroyer forst be- 
skrevne.

Generic Characters. Body relatively plump with 
sharply defined segments and unusually long lateral pro- 
cesses. Cephalic segment with little developed frontal 
part, and strongly prominent cervical processes as fasten- 
ings for the false legs. Caudal segment horizontal, 
fusiformly expanded in its outer part. Ocular tubercle 
very narrow and strongly protuberant, with distinctly devel- 
oped visual elements. Proboscis of medium size and 
fusiform, articulated to a narrow cylindrical scape, and 
curved inwards towards the ventral side. Chelifori nar- 
row and elongated, scape 2-jointed, hand very small 
and, in adult individuals, without distinct chela. Palpi 
greatly elongated, curved in zig-zag form, 10-jointed. 
False legs normal in structure, 10-jointed, marginal spines 
in a double series, serrated, terminal claw distinct. Am- 
bulatory legs slender, beset with strong bristles, coxal 
joints in the female swollen, tarsal joint very small, pro- 
podal joint elongated, terminal claw short, without aux- 
iliary claws. 
Remarks. The generic designation Zetes, proposed 
by Kroyer, has not been maintainable, as that term had 
already, earlier, been applied to a genus of Mites, and has, 
therefore, been changed by Prof. Schodte to the name 
Eurycide. The genus is well characterized by the struc- 
ture of the proboscis and the chelifori, and is distinguished, 
materially, in both those respects from the following 
genus as well as from the genus Barana established by 
Dohrn, although it, otherwise, exhibits much resemblance 
to those forms. It also approximates pretty closely to 
the genus Nymphopsis established by Wl. Schimkewitsch, 
without, however, our being able to unite them. The 
genus contains thus, at present, only one species, viz. 
lj that first described by Kroyer.
