Gen. 10. Podoceropsis, Boeck, 1860. 



Syn: Neenia, Sp. Bate. 

 > Xeuoclea, Boeck. 



Form of body resembling that in the gen. Grammaropsis. Cephalon 

 with the frontal part rather produced, and having the lateral corners angular. 

 Coxal plates of moderate size; 5th pair with the anterior lobe more or less 

 deep. Eyes well developed, and placed on each side of the frontal part of 

 the cephalon. Antennse rather slender, and snbequal in length, with elongated 

 peduncles, both pairs densely setiferons, the superior ones without any trace 

 of an accessory appendage. Anterior lip more or less produced in front. 

 Mandibular palps elongated and densely setous. Oral parts otherwise 

 normal. Griiathopoda very unequal, the anterior ones being rather feeble, and 

 of same structure in the two sexes, the posterior ones much larger, and very 

 powerfully developed in the male. Pereiopoda normal and more or less 

 slender, the 3 posterior pairs with the basal joint moderately expanded. 

 Let pair of uropoda scarcely extending beyond the others, rami subequal. 

 Telson rounded, tubular. 



Remarks. In spite of the absolut want of an accessory appendage 

 to the superior antemise, this genus exhibits a very close affinity to the 

 genus Gammaropsis, with which it agrees perfectly in nearly all other points. 

 The genus Nccnia of Sp. Bate is identical with that of Boeck, which was 

 established somewhat earlier. As already pointed out by Prof. Meinert, the 

 genus Xenoclea of Boeck, though placed within a different subfamily, cannot 

 properly be distinguished from the genus Podoceropsin, and ought therefore to 

 be merely regarded as a synonym. The genus comprises 2 Norwegian species' 

 to be described below. The Ncenia undata of Sp. Bate would also seem to 

 belong to this genus. Moreover Dr. Hansen has described an Arctic species 

 as P. Lindahli, and a 5th species has been added by the Rev. Mr. Stebbing 

 from the Challenger Expedition.
