FIGURE 15. Floromelra mariai (A. H. Clark), holotype: a, Lateral view of centrodorsal, division series fore- 

 shortened; b, perpendicular view of proximal part of postradial series; c, Pi; d, P; e, peripheral cirrus lacking 

 the tip; /, tip of another cirrus. 



The width of the arm at the first syzygy is 2.3 mm. and the length from the proximal 

 edge of the IB^ to the second syzygy is 14.5 mm. 



The third syzygy occurs 3 times between brachials 15 + 16, 3 times between brach- 

 ials 14 + 15, and once between brachials 16 + 17. The distal intersyzygial interval 

 is 3 muscular articulations. 



PI is 22 mm. long, slender and flagellate, composed of 60 segments, most of which 

 are broader than long, the terminal 25 or 30 forming a rudimentary comb. P 2 is 19 mm. 

 long with about 40 segments which are relatively longer than those of PI. P 3 is 16 mm. 

 long with 40 segments and, like P 2 , with a rudimentary terminal comb. The following 

 pinnules are much shorter with fewer and longer segments and no terminal comb. The 

 pinnule on the twenty-sixth brachial is 12 mm. long, slender, with 20 elongated segments. 

 The lower segments of the proximal pinnules have rather high narrow carinate proc- 

 esses with spinous crests. 



In the type of laodice the cirri are about XL, 40, 40 mm. long; the segments in 

 the proximal half are longer than broad, those in the distal short and furnished with 

 small spines.
