og noget krummet; det er langs den ydre Kant og ved
Enden besat med korte Borster og har i Inderkanten 4 stærke
Torner, fæstede til særskilte Afsatser. Endekloen er neppe
halvt saa lang som Fodleddet, men meget kraftig og stærkt
chitiniseret. Bikloerne er vel udviklede og omtrent halvt
saa lange som Endekloen.
Dyrets Farve er i levende Tilstand hvidagtig, halvt
gjennemsigtigt, med et mere eller mindre tydeligt udpræget,
vakkert violet Pigment, der baade er afsat paa selve
Kroppen og paa Lemmerne, hvor det danner tydelige
Tværbaand.
Forekomst. Jeg har kun taget denne lille Art ved
vor Sydkyst (Bisoer, Arendal), hvor den forekom enkeltvis
paa ganske grundt Vand mellem Alger. Paa vort
Universitets Museum lindes ogsaa nogle Exemplarer af denne Art
fra vor Vestkyst, indsamlede af min Fader, men bestemte
som N. breritarse, Krøyer.
Udbredning. Arten er utvivlsomt at betragte som
en mere sydlig Fonn. Foruden ved Norge er den nemlig
noteret fra de britiske Øer (Loach, Johnston), Danmark
(Hansen), Holland og Nordkysten af Frankrige (Hoek).
Derimod er den ukjendt i de arktiske Have.
propodal joint is more than twice as long as the tarsal joint
and somewhat curved; it is beset, along the outer edge
and at the end with short bristles, and has on the inner edge
4 strong spines, affixed to separate ledges. The terminal
claw is hardly half as long as the propodal joint, but very
powerful and highly chitinised. The auxiliary claws are
well developed and about half as long as the terminal
claw.
The.colour of the animal, is in the living state, whitish,
semi-transparent, with a beautiful, more or less distinct,
beautiful, violet pigment, deposited both on the trunk itself
and on the limbs, where it forms well defined transverse
bands.
Occurrence. This diminutive species I have taken
exclusively on the south coast of Norway (Bisoer. Arendal),
where it is sparingly met with in very shallow water
between algæ. In our University Museum there are a few
specimens of this form from the west coast of the country
collected by my late father, but determined as N. breritarse,
Krøyer.
Distribution. The species must unquestionably be
regarded as a more southern form. Besides Norway, it is
recorded from the British Islands (Leach, Johnston).
Denmark (Hansen). Holland and the north coast of France
(Hock). On the other hand it is quite unknown in the
Arctic Seas.

Artscharacter. Legemet særdeles smalt og
langstrakt, med vidt adskilte forlængede Sidefortsatser, enhver
ved Enden oventil forsynet med 2 stive divergerende
Borster. Hovedseginentet omtrent saa langt som de 2 folgende
Segmenter tilsammen, med stærkt forlænget og smal Hals;
Pandedelen forholdsvis kun lidet udvidet. Øieknuden stærkt
ophøiet, konisk tilspidset, høiere end bred. Snabelen neppe
mere end halvt saa lang som Hovedsegmentet.
Saxleni-merne svagere end hos foregaaende Art, Haanden kortere
end Skaftet, tæt haaret, Fingrene kortere end Palmen,
omtrent som hos N. gracile. Folerne spinkle, 2det og 3die
Led omtrent af ens Længde, sidste Led dobbelt saa langt
som næstsidste. De falske Fodder hos Hannen længere
end Legemet; 4de og 5te Led særdeles stærkt forlængede
og tynde; Endepartiet neppe længere end 5te Led, med
talrige Randtorner, de sidste af en lignende Bygning som
hos N. gracile. Gangfadderne særdeles spinkle, over 3
Gange længere end Legemet, og besatte med spredte, stærkt
chitiniserede Børster; Laarleddet omtrent saa langt som

Specific Character. Body excedingly slender and
elongate, with widely separated, prolonged lateral processes,
each at the extremity above provided with 2 stiff diverging
bristles. Cephalic segment about as long as the 2
succeeding ones taken together, with exceedingly elongate and
slender neck; frontal part, comparatively, but little expanded.
Oculiferous tubercle remarkably elevated,
conic.ally-acuminated, higher than broad. Proboscis hardly more than half
as long as the cephalic segment. Chelifori less powerful than
in the preceding species, hand shorter than the scape, densely
hirsute, fingers shorter than thepahn, about as in N. gracile.
Palpi very slender, 2nd and 3rd joints nearlyequal in length,
last joint twice as long as the penultimate one. False legs
in male longer than the body; 4th and 5th joints greatly
elongated and slender, terminal part scarcely longer than 5th
joint, with numerous marginal spines, similar in structure
to those of N. gracile. Ambulatory legs exceedingly
slender, more than 3 times longer than the body, and beset with
scattered, highly chitinised bristles; femoral joint about as
