as the type of the family. The name of the family should therefore perhaps<br />

guished from Arcturus by the greath. length of the middle segment<br />

of the meso-<br />

some, which gives the body an extremely slender, nearly cylindrical form, whereas<br />

in Arctnrus it is more fusiform in shape. Moreover the structure of the 1st<br />

pair of legs is slightly different, and the incubatory pouch,<br />

segments, is here only confined to the middle segment<br />

genus comprises several species, amounting<br />
