1898-1902. No. 18.] CRUSTACEA. 23 



Occurrence. Several specimens of this form were found in 



the bottom-residue of 4 different bottles. In one of them, containing 

 specimens taken on July 30, 1900, it occurred rather plentifully.

Specific Characters. Female. Body comparatively strongly 

 built, with the integuments highly chitinized. Cephalic segment large 

 and deep, somewhat narrowed in its anterior part, and produced in 

 front to a strong falciform deflexed rostrum terminating in a very acute 

 point. Epimeral parts of the 3 succeeding segments less deep than in 

 the type species, but terminating behind in a sharp angle. Last pedige- 

 rous segment short, but rather broad, with the lateral parts somewhat 

 produced. Urosome not much narrower than the anterior division and 

 somewhat exceeding half its length, genital segment broader than it is 

 long, and somewhat depressed, exhibiting on each side, like the 2 

 succeeding segments, an obliquely transverse row of small denticles. 

 Last segment well developed, though a little shorter than the preceding 

 one. Caudal rami short, being scarcely longer than they are broad, 

 and somewhat obliquely truncated at the tip, middle apical setae rather 

 slender, the inner one being, as usual, the longer. Anterior antennae 



1 The name Idyopsis having been previously given by Prof. A. AGASSIZ to a 

 genus of Acalephee, I propose the above change of the generic name.
