Figs. 1-2. 1, B. shelfordi holotype, segments 8 and 9, ventral view. 2, topotype, 
segments 6 and 7, ventral view. Scale lines = 1.00 mm. 
most segments, becoming more distinct and elevated in midbody region; 
ozopores opening dorsad. 
Caudal segments normal for family. 
Sterna variable with large process on segment 4 and two small struc- 
tures between both pairs of legs on segment 5. Postgonopodal sterna a 
modification of bilobed variation discussed by Hoffman (1965). Female 
sterna similar to postgonopodal sterna of males. 
Gonopodal aperture subelliptical. Gonopods overlapping in situ, 
extending forward just beyond anterior margin of aperture. Coxae 
massive, without apophyses, connected by membrane only, no sternal 
remnant. Prefemora of normal size, usually with large, cuneate processes 
arising on dorsal sides. Acropodites extremely short, curving broadly dis- 
tad to prefemora, apically blunt, with or without a variable medial 
flange, spur, and basal spine. 
Cyphopodal aperture rounded, situated lateral to second legs. 
Cyphopods large, with receptacle and tips of valves visible in situ.
