 (Plate XVI. Fig. 3.) 



Male. Body strongly convex, nearly parallel-sided, minutely 

 granular and densely covered on the head, anterior peraeon segments 

 and telson with short setae, posterior peraeon and anterior pleon 

 segments comparatively free from setae, these being present mainly on 

 the lateral portions. Head with anterior margin rather strongly 

 angular, minutely granular just above insertion of 1st antennae, with 

 a minute median point. Head and anterior peraeon segments without 

 additional sculpturing. Segment 5 with 2 more or less distinct 

 transverse rows of tubercles ; segments 6 and 7 with 2 distinct 

 rows of tubercles, though on segment 7 the 2 rows are not so clearly 

 separated. 



Pleon segment 4 with 2 more or less distinct transverse rows of 

 granules. 



Telson broader than long, with 2 transverse rows of minute white 

 granules immediately behind the posterior margin of the 4th pleon 

 segment, central portion raised into 2 submedian conical bosses, setose 

 especially on the outer side, each with a pointed glabrous white apical
