Side-plate 1 much sm aller than the following 3. Antenna 1 shorter 

 than antenna 2: both with well developed flagella. Kpistome little prominent, 

 Upper lip rounded. Lower lip with broad lobes, the mandibular processes 

 turned forward instead of as usual backward. Mandibles broad and short, 

 cutting edge quadri-dentate, accessory plate having 6 or 7 little conical teeth; 

 molar little prominent, very near the extremity of the mandible, furnished 

 with hooked and bearded teeth (perhaps the spine-row, with plumose seta-like 

 spines); palp with 2*^ Joint much the longest. Maxiila 1, inner plate with 

 6 plumose setae, outer plate with several simple spines, divergent, of different 

 sizes; the 2 joints of palp equal in length, 5 little spines on the iipex. Maxilla 2, 

 inner plate the broader with 14 plumose spines, outer plate with 12 simple 

 spines. Maxillipeds, inner plates apically truncate; outer plates broadly oval not 

 quite reaching end of long 2'^ Joint of palp. teeth and spines fringing the 

 inner and distal margins; 4^^^ Joint of palp curved, finger-like. Gnathopod 1 

 chelate, 6*^ Joint much longer than 5*^', the thumb short, curved, acute, 

 leaving only a small space in the chela formed with it by the short hooked 

 tinger. Gnathopod 2 slender, 6*^^ Joint much shorter than 5*^ forming a 

 sort of chela with the minute finger, but its produced apex rounded, not 

 acute. Peraeopods 1 — 5 slender; all elongate. but especially the 4*'' and 5**^; 

 6*^ Joint in all longer than ()^^. In peraeopod 3 the expauded 2"* Joint iias 

 the bind margin cut into 6 large teeth; in the following peraeopods it is 

 only slightly denticulate. üropod 1 with stiliform equal rami; uropod 2 much 

 shorter, inner ramus the longer; uropod 3 with long lanceolate rami, the 

 outer exceeding the other by a spine-like 2^ Joint. Telson long, deeply 

 cleft, the apices standing apart, each notched for a spinule.
