Side-plate 4 as broad as deep, not deeper than the segment, only in 

 part overlappiüg the 5***. Peraeon segment 1 as long as 2<^ and 3*^ combined. 

 Pleon rather large. Pleon segment 3, postero-lateral angles produced, not 



acute. p]yes wanting. Antennae veiy unequal, flagella 

 many-jointed. Antenna 1, 1^* Joint of flagellum 

 and accessory flagellum long (Fig. 19); antenna 2, 

 ultimate Joint of peduncle longer than penultimate. 

 p]pistome cariuate. Upper lip short, emarginate. 

 Lower lip, lobes very broad, distally ti'uncate, with 

 denticle at outer corner. Mandible short and broad, 

 cutting edge very broad, straight, smooth. Maxiila 1, 

 inner plate large with a score of plumose setae, outer 

 plate with 9 spines, palp 1-jointed (Fig. 20). Maxilla 2, 

 inner plate broad, with raany spines 

 and setae, outer naiTOw, apically 

 fringed, and with 2 setules on outer 

 margin. Maxillipeds, inner plates 

 broad, inflated, setose, not reaching 

 apex of 1^* Joint of palp, outer not 

 nearly reaching apex of 2*^ Joint of 

 palp, fringed with slender spines; 

 palp's flrst 2 joints robust. Gnatho- 

 pod 1 robust, ^^^ Joint oval, tapering 

 distally, rather longer than the stouter 

 5th^ 7tii linear, curved. Gnathopod 2 

 like gnathopod 1, but longer and less robust, 3* Joint in both pairs short. 

 Peraeopods 1 — 5, A^^ Joint little expanded, long, except in peraeopod 5. 

 Peraeopod 4, 2^ Joint oblong oval, slightly decurrent. Peraeopod 5, 2*^ Joint 

 more expanded and decurrent than in peraeopod 4. üropods 1—3, all the 

 rami subequal, except in the 1^* pair slightly armed, in each pair much 

 shorter than peduncle. Telson a little longer than broad, oval, entire.

Head short. Antenna 1 (Fig. 19), peduncle short and thick, flagellum with 

 14 joints, 1^* longer than rest combined, much longer than peduncle, channelled 

 to receive accessory flagellum, which is l-(2-?)jointed and nearly as long as 

 1^* Joint of primary. Antenna 2 much longer than antenna 1, ultimate Joint of 

 peduncle more than twice as long as penultimate, flagellum 25-jointed, longer
