Male appendages on 7th peraeou segment contiguous, moderately 

 long, tapering to subacute apices. 



Pleopods 1-3, peduncle with 3-hooked setae ; male stylet on 2nd 

 one-third as long again as ramus, not tapering much, apex blunt. 



Uropod in <$ , inner ramus scarcely reaching level of telsonic apex, 

 widest across the middle, outer margin therefore angular, apex 

 narrowly truncate, outer distal margin crenulate, outer ramus very 

 short, ovate, outer margin crenulate, upper surface of both rami 

 pitted ; in $ similar but outer apical angle of inner ramus more acute, 

 and the crenulations on both rami less distinct. 



Length : 14 mm. ; breadth j 5'5 mm. 



Colour : In spirit pinkish. 



Locality : Eocklaud Point NW. JW., distant 2 miles (False Bay).

 (Plate XVI. Figs. 8, 9.) 



Body covered all over with very short and thick pubescence. Head 

 with a moderate-sized median point. Peraeon segments not sculptured. 

 Pleou segments 1-4 also not sculptured, segment 4 not produced or 

 lobed. Telsou in <$ with 2 submediau conical tubercles in the middle, 

 apical notch deep, median lobe reaching to level of the lateral 

 lobes, tapering to a narrowly rounded apex, apices of the lateral lobes 

 blunt ; in $ with only 2 barely discernible elevations in place of the 

 tubercles, apical notch very shallow, all 3 lobes apically obtuse and of 

 the same length. 



Antenna 1, basal joints entire, flagellum ca. 10- jointed. Flagellum 

 of antenna 2 ca. 12-jointed. 



Maxilliped, lobes of 5th-7th joints rather elongate, but not so greatly 

 as in tuberculosa. 



Mouth-parts in modified. 



Pereaopod 1, spines on inner margin of 4th-6th joints respectively 

 4, 3 and 4. 



Male appendages on 7th peraeon segment close together, short, 

 apically acute. 



Pleopods 1-3, peduncle with 3-hooked setae ; male stylet on 2nd 

 one-third as long again as ramus, apically subacute. 



Uropod in J 1 , outer ramus extending beyond telsonic apex, ovate- 

 lanceolate, apex acute, outer distal margin crenulate, outer ramus 

 extending to level of telsouic apex, ovate-lanceolate, apex acute, both
