femur is long and slender, a little shorter than the three; posterior trunk segments 
taken together. At the distal end the femur hears a spinous projection. A 
similar projection occurs on the first tibia. This latter joint is somewhat shorter 
than the femur. The second tibia is extremely long and slender; it is equal in 
length to the trunk excluding the last segment. The claw is fairly stout. There 
are no auxiliary claws.

Affinities . — It is obvious that this species is very closely allied to 
Parapallene nierstraszi Loman, obtained from somewhat deeper water off the 
coast of New Guinea and Timor (1908, p. 44, taf. ix, fig. 122-127). The present 
species is, however, much more slender, the segments of the trunk being much 
longer and the crurigers much more widely separated. 
The crurigers are much shorter in P. famelica than in P. nierstraszi, and 
the same remark applies to the length of the legs in the two species.
