Snabelen (se Fig.’2 a, 2 b) ei’ forholdsvis stor, næsten
af Hovedsegmentets Længde og betydelig tykkere end dettes
Halsdel. Den er af regelmæssig cylindrisk Form, med
Spidsen stumpt tilrundet, og næsten horizontalt fortilrettet.
Saxlemmerne (ibid.) er særdeles kraftigt udviklede.
Skaftet er forholdsvis tykt. cyliudriskt. eller lidt udvidet
mod Enden, og besat med spredte Haar. Haanden (Fig.
2 d) er omtrent af Skaftets Længde og udmærket ved den
smale, næsten cylindriske Fonn af Palmen, der er tæt
besat med korte Haar. Fingrene er forholdsvis korte, neppe
synderlig mere end halvt saa lange som Palmen, meget
stærkt chitiniserede. derfor af mørk hornbrun Farve, og
kun ganske svagt krummede; de danner med Palmen en
temmelig udpræget stump Vinkel.
Folerne (Fig. 2 e) er ligeledes forholdsvis kraftigt
udviklede og navnlig udmærkede ved det meget ulige
Længdeforhold af 2det og 3die Led. Medens det 1ste af disse
Led er forholdsvis ualmindelig kort, er det andet særdeles
stort, næsten dobbelt saa langt og betydelig længere end
det terminale Parti. Sidste Led er ogsaa ualmindelig stort,
mere end dobbelt saa langt som næstsidste og successivt
afsmalnende mod Enden.
De falske Fodder hos Hannen (se Fig. 2 a) er stærkt
forlængede, lige udstrakte mere end 1 a Gang til længere
end Legemet, og har 4de og navnlig 5te Led særdeles lange
og smale samt noget fortykkede i Enden. Det terminale
Parti er betydelig kortere end 5te Led og har 1ste Led
omtrent saa langt som de 2 følgende tilsammen.
Randtor-nerne paa de ydre Led (Fig. 2 f) er smalt lancetformige
og har som hos de i det foregaaende omtalte Arter et Par
stærke basale Tæuder. medens deres ydre Del er fint
saug-takket.
Gaugfodderne (se Fig 2) er meget tynde og stærkt
forlængede, omtrent 4 Gange længere end Legemet, og kun
besatte med meget smaa. kun ved stærk Forstørrelse
synlige Haar. Af Leddene er 2det Hofteled omtrent dobbelt
saa langt som de 2 øvrige tilsammen. 1ste Lægled er kun
ubetydelig længere end Laarleddet, hvorimod 2det do. er
1lz til saa langt og mere end 3 Gange længere end det
terminale Afsn’t. Tarsalleddet (se Fig. 2 g) er af smal
lineær Fonn og noget varierende i Længde, ialmindelighed
noget ’længere end Fodleddet, sjeldnere omtrent af dettes
Længde eller endog lidt kortere (se Fig. 2 h). Fodleddet
er temmelig stærkt krummet og langs Inderkanten bevæbnet
med omtrent 6 stærkt forlængede Torner, hvoraf de 4
inderste er størst. Endekloen er ialmindelighed særdeles
stærk, men kort. ikke synderlig mere end halvt saa lang
som Fodleddet. Hos enkelte Exemplarer fra større Dyb
er den imidlertid (se Fig. 2 h) kjendelig længere og
tyndere. Bikløerne er vel udviklede og oftest omtrent halvt
saa lange som Endekloen.
The proboscis (see fig. 2 a, 2 b) is comparatively large,
almost the length of the cephalic segment, and a good deal
thicker than the cervical part. It has a regular cylindrical
form, with the point obtusely rounded, and is directed
almost horizontally forwards.
The chelifori (ibid.) are particularly powerfully
developed. The scape is comparatively thick, cylindrical, or a little
expanded towards the end, and beset with scattered hairs.
The hand (fig. 2 d) is about the length of the scape, and
is characterised by the narrow, well-nigh cylindric form of
the palm, which is densely beset with short hairs. The
fingers are comparatively short, scarcely any more than
half the length of the palm, highly chitinised, and therefore
of a dark horny-brown colour, and but very gently curved:
they form along with the palm a rather prominent obtuse
angle.
The palpi (fig. 2 e) have likewise a relatively
powerful development, and are characterised, in particular, by the
very unequal longitudinal relations of the 2nd and 3rd joints.
While the 1st of these joints is. relatively, unusually short the
other is exceedingly large, well-nigh twice as long, and much
longer than the terminal part. The last joint is also
uncommonly large, more than twice as long as the
penultimate one, and diminishes successively towards the end.
The false legs in the male (see fig. 2 a) are
exceedingly elongated, straightly extended more than half as long
again as the body, and have the 4th, and particularly the
5th joint remarkably long and slender, as well as somewhat
tumificated at the extremity. The terminal part is a good
deal shorter than the 5th joint, and has the 1st joint about
as long as the 2 following ones taken together. The
marginal spines on the outer joint (fig. 2 f) are slender
lanceolate, and have, as in the previously mentioned species,
a pair of strong basal teeth, while their outer part is
finely serrate.
The ambulatory legs (see fig. 2) are very slender and
greatly elongated, about 4 times longer than the body, and
only beset with very minute hairs, perceptible alone by the aid
of a strong magnifier. Of the joints the 2nd coxal joint is
about double the length of the 2 others taken together.
The 1st tibial joint is hut very little longer than the
femoral one, whereas the 2nd is 1/.1 longer, and more than
3 times the length of the terminal section. The tarsal joint
(see fig. 2 g) has a slender linear fonn and varies somewhat
in length, being as a rule somewhat longer than the propodal
joint, more rarely about the same length as that joint or even
somewhat shorter (see fig. 2 h). The propodal joint is rather
sharply curved, and is armed along the inner edge with about
6, elongated spines, of which the 4 innermost are the largest.
The terminal claw is, in general, exceedingly strong but
short, not much more than half as long as the propodal
joint. In some specimens from considerable depths it. is.
however, (see fig. 2 h) appreciably longer and slenderer.
The auxiliary claws are well developed, and are. most
frequently, about half as long as the terminal claw.
