140 " ENDEAVOUR " SCIENTIFIC RKSULTS. 



These specimens show a variation in the length of the 

 supraorbital spines from two-thirds as long to just as long 

 as the ocular peduncles. They are inclined obliquely 

 upward with a slight curve (convex dorsally), except the 

 tip, which is straight and a little upturned. 



Antennas not so long as antennules, although they over- 

 reach the peduncle of the latter. 



Chelae of male as long as those of female, but stouter, 

 palm widening considerably to distal end ; the fingers when 

 closed leave an oval gape at base. 



Propodus of last pair of legs half as long as carpus; 

 dactylus, when flexed, opposed by a single spine and some 

 spinules on the propodus. 



The male has a spine on the second segment only of the 

 abdomen.
