Frontal process of head apically subacute. Side-plate 1 distally expaudcd, 

 4*^ much deeper than the rest, o^'^ nearly as broad as 4*^ Eyes contiguous, 

 on frontal process. Antenna 1 in 9 shorter than antenna 2, flagellum in both 

 many-jointed. Upper lip with sides angular. Lower lip with inner lobes 

 separate. Mandible, cutting edge bluntly dentate, molar rather weak, 2'^ Joint 

 of palp very slightly beut. Maxiila 1, outer plate with 9 spines; maxilla 2, 

 inner plate the broader. Maxillipeds, inner plates small, not reaching apex 

 of 1^* Joint of palp, outer plates not nearly reaching apex of distally expanded 

 2^ Joint of palp. Gnathopods 1 and 2, 5^^ Joint subequal to 6*1», distally widened 

 and slightly produced, 6*^ oblong, a little widened distally, palm well detined, 

 very slightly oblique, much shorter than bind margin. Peraeopods 1 — 4,

. Frontal process deflexed, reaching end of P* Joint of antenna 1. Eyes 

 dark, elongate, widened distally (apparently not always persistent in alcohol). 

 Antenna 1 in $ , 2*^ Joint rather longer than 1^*, flagellum shorter thau peduncle, 

 17-jointed. Antenna 2, ultimate Joint of peduncle shorter than penultimate, 

 flagellum shorter than the 2 combined, 24-jointed. Gnathopod 2 longer and more 

 slender than gnathopod 1, the palm a little more oblique, but in both 

 defined by a well marked angle with palmar spine. Peraeopods 1 — 4, 6*^' 

 Joint with brush of setae on lower half of the convex margin; in peraeo- 

 pods 3 and 4, bind margin of 2*^ Joint sinuous. Peraeopod 5 imperfect, but
