As seen from the figure, it differs from the female, as figured on PI. 237, 

 in the circumstance that the body is less densely spinous, whereas it is not at 

 all more slender of form, and so far very markedly differs from the male of C. 

 septentrionalis, its nearest ally. The posterior gnathopoda are, as usual in male 

 specimens, attached behind the middle of the corresponding segment, and 

 exhibit a rather robust structure, the basal joint being quite short, the pro- 

 podos very large and partly tubercular on the upper face, gradually tapering 

 distally, with the palm defined posteriorly by a strong projection, and exhi- 

 biting in front 2 triangular lobes separated by a narrow sinus. The dactylus. 

 is extremely strong and curved, with a dentiform projection on the inner edge, 

 near the base. The length of the specimen is fully 23 mm.
