claw, d-g, Gradungula woodwardi sp. nov.: d , eyes in dorsal view; e, tarsus and claws of first leg; /, tarsal claws of 
first leg; g, tarsal claws of fourth leg, showing one superior claw. 
Trichobothria are distributed as follows.— 
First leg; tibia, 1.2. 1.2; metatarsus, 1 distal. 
Second leg; tibia 1.2. 1.2; metatarsus, 1 distal. 
Third and fourth legs with 6 pairs on tibia 
and 1 distal on metatarsus. 
The spines on the ventral surface of tarsi 
1 and 2 are not as numerous as in sorenseni 
and are practically limited to the distal half 
of the segment. The tarsal claws of legs 1 and 
2 are modified as in sorenseni but the teeth on 
the ventral surface of the two superior claws 
are more numerous. There are from 11 to 12 
on the proclaw and 17 to 18 on the retroclaw 
(Fig. 2/). The superior claws of legs 3 and 4 
are homogeneous, with nine strong teeth 
(Fig- 2g).
