greatly widened, with the setose lower margin sinuous ; the fourth 

 joint is produced some way down behind the fifth, which is short 

 and broad, but longer than the sixth, this in turn being longer than 

 the spine-like and spine-tipped finger. 



The pleopods have two slender coupling hooks on the peduncle 

 and four cleft spines on the first joint of the inner ramus. 



The first uropods have the peduncle longer than the rami, of 

 which the outer is the longer, armed with two little spines ; the 

 inner ramus has a single spine near the middle. The second uropods 

 have rami longer than their peduncle, the outer unarmed, the inner 

 not much shorter and carrying two little spines. In length they are 

 intermediate between the rami of the first pair. The third uropods 

 have the rami considerably larger, longer than their peduncle, the 

 outer fringed with setae, the inner a little shorter, armed with some 

 setae and a row of spines. The telson, subequal in length to the 

 peduncle of the third uropods, is considerably longer than broad, cleft 

 for about five-sixths of its length, tapering from near the base to the 

 slightly divergent spine-tipped apices, and furnished on the surface 

 with setae and spinules. It differs in shape, armature, and extent of 

 cleavage from species of the genus hitherto described. 



Length of the specimen figured, 7 mm. ; another specimen 

 measured 10 mm. 



Locality. Lat. 33 9' 30" S., long. 28 3' 00" E.; depth, 47 fathoms. 



The specific name alludes to the inequality of the uropods, of 

 which the third pair, contrary to the custom in the genus, reach 

 beyond the other two pairs by the whole extent of the rami.
