grovt cilierede Borster, 4 paa 1 ste og 9 paa 2det Led, 
ordnede i 2 alternerende Rader. Sidste Led (fig. 1 f), 
der forestiUer Haanden, er sasrdeles lidet og ender i en 
kouisk tilspidset Fortsats, hvis ydre Parti er afgramdset 
ved en Tvtersutur. I nogen Afstand fra denne Foitsats 
er til Leddets forreste Side festet et yderst lidet 2-leddet 
Appendix, der ifolge sin Stilling maa betragtes sora et 
Rudiment af den bevmgelige Finger, ligesom den ovenom- 
talte koniske Fortsats syncs at repnesentere den ubevaegelige 
Finger. Hos yngre Individer er, som test af Dr. Hansen 
paavist, Haanden udviklet til en fuldstsendig, skjondt for- 
holdsvis meget liden Chela, med kloformige, i Enden staerkt 
krummede Fingre (se Fig. 1 g, 1 h), liver med et Par 
Smaatfender i Inderkanten. 
Folerne (Fig. 1 i) er mere end Vs Gang lfengere end 
Saxlennnerne og bmres ialmindelighed stserkt S-formigt eller 
rettere zigzag-formigt boiede. De er af spinkel Form, hist 
og her besatte med grove Borster og sammensatte af 10 
vel begrsendsede Led, hvoraf det 3die er laengst. De 2 
forste Led er meget korte og ogsaa 4de Led forholdsvis 
lidet, hvorimod 5te Led er af betydelig Stprrelse, skjpndt 
mindre end 3die. De 5 dvrige Led forestiller Endedelen 
og er alle forholdsvis korte, dog 2det noget lrongere end de 
ovrige. Som hos Slmgten Ammothea -er de i Inderkanten 
besatte med fine og teette Borster. 
De falske Fodder (se Fig. 1 b, 1 k) er temraelig 
stserkt forlwngede, lige udstrakte omtrent af Legemets 
Lsengde, og viser idethele en fuldkommen normal Bygning. 
De bestaar af 10 vel begrsendsede Led, hvoraf 4de og 5te 
som ssedvanlig er lsengst. Hos Hannon er 4de Led noget 
lfengere end ote og begge besatte med fine omboiede 
Borster. Endedelen er ikke fuldt dobbelt saa lang som 
5te Led og bar Leddene successivt aftagende i Storrelse. 
De 4 yderste er i den indre Kant bevsebnede med en 
dobbelt Rad af grovt saugtakkede Torner (se Fig. 1 m, 
1 n). Endekloen (se Fig. 1 nr) er tydeligt udviklet, skjondt 
forholdsvis kort og ganske glat. 
Gangfodderne (se Fig. 1, 1 o) er ikke fuldt dobbelt 
saa lange som Legemet, naar Snabelen fiaiegnes, og af 
temmelig spinkel Form, samt successivt afsmalnende fra 
Basis til Enden. De er besatte med steerke, delvis grovt 
cilierede Borster, der er boiede i forskjellige Retninger og 
giver dem et laaddent Udseende. Hofteleddene er navnlig 
hos Hunnen stserkt opsvulmede, da Ovarierne, uligt hvad 
Tilfmldet pleier at vsere, er indskramkede til dette Parti, 
uden at strsekke sig ind i Laarleddct. Dette sidste Led 
er derfor hos begge Kjon meget smalt, af lmeaer Form, 
og skiller sig kun hos Haunen ved Tilstedevserelsen nsei 
Basis af et konisk tilspidset Fremspring (se Fig. 1 o). 
De 2 Lsegled er begge omtrent af samme Lamgde som 
Laarleddet, men kjendelig smalere, navnlig det. sidste. 
Endepartiet (se Fig. 1 p) er noget kortere end 2det Lsegled 
og liar Tarsalleddet. saerdeles lidet, hvorimod Fodleddet er 
temmelig forlamget, ganske svagt krummet og lidt fortykket 
i sit basale Parti. Begge Led er tset besatte med korte 
strong, coarsely ciliated bristles, 4 on the 1 st and 9 on 
the 2nd joint, arranged in 2 alternating series. The last 
joint, (fig. 1 f) which represents the hand, is particularly 
small, and terminates in a conically pointed process whose 
outer portion is defined by a transversal suture. At some 
distance from this process an extremely small 2-jointed ap- 
pendix is secured to the foremost side of the joint, which, 
from its situation, must bo regarded as a rudiment of the 
mobile finger, just as the above mentioned process appears 
to represent the immobile finger. In young individuals, as 
first shewn by Dr. Hansen, the hand is developed to a 
perfect, although relatively very small chela with claw- 
shaped fingers strongly bent at the end (see fig. 1 g, 1 h), 
each with a couple of small teeth on the inner margin. 
The palpi (fig. 1 i) are more than one half longer 
than the chelifori, and are usually carried curved in strong 
S-form or, more correctly speaking, zig-zag form. They are 
slender in structure and beset here and there with coarse 
bristles, and composed of 10 well defined joints, of which 
the 3rd is the longest. The 2 first joints are very short, 
and the 4th joint is, also, relatively small, whilst the 5th 
joint is of considerable size although a good deal smaller 
than the 3rd one. The other 5 joints represent the terminal 
part and are all relatively short, still the 2nd is somewhat 
longer than the others. They are, as in the genus Am- 
mothea, beset on the inner edge with fine, close-set bristles. 
The false legs (see fig. 1 b, 1 k) are rather greatly 
elongated, straightly extended about same length as the 
body, and altogether exhibit a perfectly normal structure. 
They consist of 10 well marked joints, of which the 4th 
and 5th are, as usual, the longest. In the male the 4th 
joint is somewhat longer than the 5th, and both aie beset 
with fine recurved bristles. The terminal part is not 
quite twice as long as the 5th joint, and the joints 
diminish successively in size. The 4 outermost ones are 
armed on the inner margin with a double series of coarse, 
serrated spines (see fig. 1 m. 1 n). The terminal claw 
(see fig. 1 m) is distinctly developed, although relatively 
short and quite smooth. 
The ambulatory legs (see fig. 1, 1 o) are not quite 
twice as long as the body when the proboscis is. excluded, 
pretty slender in form, and diminish progressively from 
the base to the extremity. They are beset with strong, 
to some extent coarsely ciliated bristles, which are bent in 
various directions and impart a hirsute appearance to 
them. The coxal joints, especially in the female, are 
greatly tumefied, as the ovaries, unlike what is usually the 
case, are confined to that part without extending them- 
selves into the femoral joint. The last-named joint is, 
therefore, in both sexes, very narrow, linear in form, and 
is only distinguished in the male by the presence near the 
base of a conically pointed prominence (see fig. 1 o). The 
2 tibial joints are both about same length as the femoral 
joint, but appreciably narrower, especially the last one. 
The terminal part (see fig. 1 p) is somewhat shorter than 
the 2nd tibial joint and the tarsal joint is particularly 
small, while the propodal joint is pretty much elongated,
