 ahout the length of the hasal part, terininal claw very slender. Natatory legs 

 well dexelnprd. with the inner ramtis larger and broader than in most other 

 species, its proximal joint only in the Ith pair setiferous. Last pair of legs com- 

 paratively small, distal joint narrow oval in form, with the inner edge straight; 

 inner expansion of proximal joint short and broad, with "> marginal seta?, the 

 apical one the longest.

 manner. La>t pair of legs very small, distal joint well defined and somewhat 

 widening towards the end. with 4 marginal seta-; inner expansion of proximal 

 joint almost obsolete. 



Body in female of whitish colour, with 3 light orange transversal bands, 

 tie' Is! across the cephalic segment, the i^nd occupying the posterior part of the 

 -nital >egment. the 3rd the anal segment. 



Length of adult female 0.73 mm. 



//- ///"//.-. -This form, first recorded under the above name by Boeck, is 

 a very distinct species, easily distinguished by its slender form of body, the greatly 

 prominent rostral projection, and the long and narrow caudal rami. In the living 

 Mate it is also readily rccogni/ed by its peculiar and beautiful colouring.

 Norway, as also in the Trondhjem Fjord, in moderate depths among algse.
