Their extremities have eacli a large flattened hook, which faces ventrally and is somewhat like the sole of a child's sandal, A roughly conical accessory piece measuring 0*38 mm. to 0*4 mm. is present. The male. Murshidia pugnicaudata. Anterior and lateral view. genital tube is mucli coiled and extends to within a short distance of the oesophagus. Figures of M, pugnicaudata (Leiper) are appended, for purposes of comparison. The new species differs from M. pugnicaudata in the form of the mouth-capsule, of the oesophagus, of the vulva and vagina, and of the spicules of the male. Comparing the two, the buccal capsule of M, hamata is much narrower in proportion to its depth,.
