generally diffused except on the end of the rostrum, the third to the 

 sixth pleon segments, the flagella of the antennae, the terminal part 

 of the fourth peraeopods, and the peduncles of the first and second 

 uropods. A study of the figure will show that the colour distribution 

 is probably adapted to the animal in a resting position. The parts 

 naturally concealed under those circumstances are also uncoloured, 

 namely, the mouth-organs, gnathopods, and first peraeopods.

The name of this genus, coined in compliment to Professor 

 Liljeborg, is often erroneously printed Lilljeborgia. But the fact 

 that the Professor changed the spelling of his own name from 

 Liljeborg to Lilljeborg does not justify a change in the scientific 

 term.
