The body of this species is elongate, spindle-shaped, and slen¬ 
der, its greatest width being only one fifth of the total length. 
The integument is fairly flexible and the outline variable. A 
rather faint, reddish-orange color extends to all parts of the body. 
The head and neck segments are of nearly equal length and 
width, a little less than the greatest width of the body. The an¬ 
terior transverse folds are fairly well marked. The abdomen is 
nearly parallel-sided anteriorly; from a point near mid-length 
it tapers gradually to the inconspicuous tail, which has a single, 
median lobe, rounded posteriorly. The foot is obscurely two- 
jointed. The posterior portion of the body has a number of 
partly telescopic annulations. The toes are small and nearly 
cylindrie; posteriorly they contract abruptly to minute tubules; 
their length is about one fortieth of the total length. 
The dorsal antenna is in the normal position; in the material 
at our disposal it was not possible to locate the lateral antennae. 
Not having had an opportunity to study the living animal, we 
have no information on the corona. 
The mastax is of a highly specialized virgate type. The rami 
are of a lyrate form closely resembling the normal forcipate type.
