Not illustrated. 1907 edition. Excerpt: ...segment shorter than the remainder of the abdomen and broader than the following segments. Second segment of the abdomen much shorter than the third. Furcal rami short, about one and one-half times longer than broad, and ciliate on the inner margin in the male. (The number of specimens of the female was so few that no satisfactory examinations of the furca could be made.) "First pair of antennae reflexed extend about to the furca; composed of twenty-five articles. Antepenultimate article of right male antenna provided with a long, blunt process which surpasses the distal end of the ultimate article. 28--S. & A. "The outer ramus of the fifth pair of feet in the female three-segmented, the third segment small but distinct and bearing two small spines. The basal segment bears a short, thick spine at its outer distal angle. The unguiform process of the second segment of this ramus is rather arcuate, denticulate within and roughened on the outer margin. In addition to the two spines on the third segment, this segment has a minute spine. The inner ramus is simple and almost equal to the first segment of the outer ramus, is ciliated at the apex, and bears two long equal spines. "Right fifth foot of male rather robust. The basal segment is provided with a small spinous process near its inner proximal angle. Second segment of the outer ramus short, being about one and one-fourth times as long as broad, and bearing the marginal spine at the distal angle. Terminal hook long, usually sigmoid, very minutely denticulate on the inner margin and tapering toward the apex. Inner ramus narrow and barely reaching the middle of the second segment of outer ramus, one-segmented and ' ciliate at tip. The second segment of the left male...
