Description
The terminal spines are markedly unequal, the inner one being about three times the length of the outer one and about two-thirds the length of the segment; the edge of the spine is also armed with a row of 10 to 12 spinules. As these differences appear to be constant, i think it as well, for the present at any rate, to regard these two species as distinct.
