distally expanded. Eyes placed at apex of frontal process. Antenna 1 

 reacMng about to end of peduncle of antenua 2, both agreeing in general 

 with those of P. propinquus. Gnathopod 1 agreeing closely with P. macrocheir.

Head, rostrum deflexed, reaching sligbtly beyond 1^* Joint of antenna 1, 

 lateral corners somewhat produced, with rounded apex. Eyes large, some- 

 what remote from downcurved apex of rostrum. Antennae a little more 

 slender than in P. lynceus. Peraeopod 1, finger mucli longer than 6*^ Joint; 

 in peraeopod 2 rather shorter than it. Peraeopods 3 and 4, finger very little 

 longer than 6*^ Joint. Other points agi'eeing with P. lynceus, unless the colour 

 be fainter. L. § 12*5 mm.

Head produced horizontally a little beyond 1^* Joint of antenna 1, 

 lateral corners produced, acute. Side-plate 1 pentagonal. Pleon segments 1 — 3 

 slightly carinate dorsally. Eyes rather large, contiguous, at extremity of 

 frontal process, leaving a minute rostral tip, yellowish red. Antenua 1 in 9 

 shorter than peduncle of antenna 2, 1^* Joint longest, flagellum much shorter 

 than peduncle, 10-jointed. Antenna 2, penultimate Joint of peduncle scarcely 

 longer but much thicker than ultimate, very setose, flagellum slender, longer 

 than peduncle, in young ö still longer, witli very many short joints. Gnatho- 

 pod 1 in length subequal to gnathopod 2, 2^ Joint moderately dilated, 6^>» 

 a little widened at the spine which defines the curved oblique palm, longer 

 than lialf the Joint, finger longer than the palm. Gnathopod 2, 6*^^ Joint 

 oblong oval, palm more than half its length. Peraeopods moderately slender, 

 finger in peraeopods 1 and 2 shorter than 6*^ Joint, in the others about equal to it 

 in length ; in peraeopod 5, 2*^ Joint rather broad, bind margin setose. üropod 3, 

 rami as long as or longer . than peduncle, inner one with 1 spinule. Telson 

 oval quadraugular, apex ti'uncate, cariying 2 setules. Colour whitish, with 

 brownish-violet bands on back and reticulated on head. L. 22 — 25 mm. 



Arctic Ocean (Greenland, Iceland, Spitzbergen, Murman coast, Siberian Polar 

 Sea, Labrador, Finmark). Depth 9^ — 94 m. — No doubt often confused with P. propinquus, 

 so that notices of localities and depths are exposed to some uncertainty.
