Lateral view of body with chelophore and palp: •; 3. Fig. 52. Ammothea longispina, Holotype: a. Palp: 15. 6. Oviger: xii. Third leg rather short and stout. Second coxa approximately equal to the sum of the first and third. Femur five times as long as wide, slightly shorter than second tibia. Terminal segments as represented in Fig. 50 b; distal spine on propodus unusually large, the smaller spine wanting on the propodus of the first leg. Setules on trunk restricted to the conical processes of each transverse ridge, the two low cephalic protuberances and the distal border of each lateral process. On the legs they are arranged in longitudinal rows on the longer segments; on the dorsal border of each tibia they are replaced by small, curved spines. Measurements {mm.)
