Telson not greatly longer than broad, with a tooth on lateral margin near base and another less well marked (especially in $) distally, apex subacute, not strongly produced, in (j" a large median blunt or sometimes pointed tubercle at base, and 3 pairs of granules larger than the others, forming 2 ridges distally ; both these features usually absent in ?, in which surface is merely finely granular, but the median tubercle is sometimes well marked in young ?? ; it may even be absent in the (J (see specimen No. A 5953). Thus the development of the granules varies, as may also their shape ; in some young $2 all the granules are sharply pointed, in other specimens they are all blunt, so that at first sight one would suspect there to be two species. No ventral knobs or processes on peraeon segments. First antenna reaching to middle of 3rd joint of 2nd antenna, 1st.
