The cephalo-thoracic shield has greatly grown, and eventually acquires the usual dorsal spine.

There (fig. 229 D) is a well-developed cephalo-thorax, and four free segments behind it.

The escape of the cephalo-thoracic portion was effected from behind forwards.

Two of them are close together, on opposite sides of a slightly elevated ridge at the front of the cephalo-thorax.

In the cephalo-rachidic liquid so limpid in appearance, it is possible with great attention to detect similar little grains.
