tlie second and third joints suddenly narrowing, giving 
to the upper margin an arcuate line, while the lower is 
straight ; the flagellum is about the same length as the 
peduncle, the first articulus being nearly half its entire 
length. The secondary appendage is nearly as long as 
the flagellum. The inferior antennae are about the same 
length as the superior; the joints forming the peduncle 
are short, except the last, being hidden behind the pro- 
jecting lateral lobes of the head. The epistoma is 
rounded in front, and projects as far in advance as the 
frontal wall of the head. The foot -jaws are short, and 
have the fifth and sixth joints subequal in length, but 
neither of them are much longer than the seventh. The 
plate which is attached to the fourth joint has the inner 
margin crenulated, where the rudiments of a spine cor- 
responds with each lobule ; a single strong spine sub- 
apically crowns the plate. The first pair of legs are 
short and robust, they have the wrist and hand nearly 
of the same length, and continuous with each other, 
forming a long imperfect ellipse, the broadest part of 
which corresponds with the articulation between the 
two joints. The palm is the narrowest part of the 
hand ; it is smooth, and defined by a right angle that 
projects a little beyond the regular line of the inferior 
margin : the finger is short, strong, and curved. The 
second pair of legs are long and slender, having the 
third joint nearly as long as the fourth, the fifth 
much longer than either, and as long again as the 
hand, it is inferiorly produced to a lobe, which is 
thickly covered with a fur of short stiff hairs, above 
which, on the inner side as well as on the upper mar- 
gin, is a double row of similar hairs which extend longitu- 
dinally along half the length of the joint. The hand is 
rounded at the apex, furnished with five rows of hairs
