Length, from front of head to end of third pleon segment, 

 12-5 mm. ; total length to end of telson about 15 mm. 



Locality. Dredged in lat. 33 9' 30" S., long. 28 3' 00" E., at 47 

 fathoms' depth, the bottom consisting of sand, shell, and rock. 



The specific name is chosen out of respect to Monsieur Ed. 

 Chevreux, who during many years by pen and pencil and active 

 research has rendered distinguished service to our knowledge of the 

 Amphipoda.

Both sexes of this widely distributed species have been taken in 

 South African waters. It has passed under a variety of generic and 

 specific names in the writings of several authors, myself included. 

 It is satisfactory to find that the Rev. Canon Norman (Ann. Nat. 

 Hist., Oct., 1907) agrees with the decision set forth in Das Tierreich 

 that there is really only one species at present known in the 

 genus. 



Locality. The specimens with which we are here concerned were 

 obtained, with other rarer Amphipoda, at a station described as 

 Table Mountain E. 41 miles ; depth, 245 fathoms ; bottom, green sand. 

 As the species is familiar close inshore, and no closing apparatus 

 was used in its capture, there is no guarantee that it was not taken 

 at the surface rather than at any considerable depth.
