The abdomen consists of a single large segment, which is producedon either side about the middle in a single long spine, directed out-ward, and at the post-lateral angle in another long spine, also di-rected outward. The abdomen is posteriorlyproduced in a process terminating in two longspines, one on either side of the median the base of the abdomen in the median lineis a single small tubercle. There is also asingle small tubercle in the middle of thesegment on the dorsal surface. The peduncleof the uropoda is long and slender, andreaches almost to the extremity of the ter-minal spines of the abdomen. The branchesare about equal in length and also about as long as the peduncle. The first pair of legs are very small, short, and feeble. The fol-lowing six pairs are robust and similar in character.
