it is uncertain whether Metamunna should be regarded as closer to 

 Paramunna or Pleurogonium. One cannot help feeling that Metamunna 

 has a very short 3-joiuted palp, and is not really distinct from 

 Paramunna. The serrate pleon is very like that of P. bilobata Sars, 

 whereas both laevifrons and the following species have an entire 

 margined pleon. 



PARAMUNNA CONCAVIFRONS u. sp. 

 (Plate XVII. Figs. 8, 9.) 



Head broadly produced in front, anterior margin concave. Eyes 

 situate on the pedunculate lateral portions, rather small. Peraeon 

 oval, gradually decreasing in width posteriorly, the lateral portions 

 of all the segments rounded. Pleon oval, lateral margins entire, apex 

 shallowly bifid. 



Antenna 1 6-jointed, the 3rd peduncular joint scarcely distinguish- 

 able from the flagellar joints. 



Antenna 2, 3rd joint subequal to 5th, 4th small, 5th and 6th 

 elongate, 6th a little longer than 5th, flagellum 10-jointed. 



tipper lip rounded distally. 



Mandibles, molar prominent, palp very small, 3-jointed. 



Maxilla 1, inner plate with 2 setae. 



Peraeopod 1 stout, inner apex of 5th joint blunt but prominent, 

 setose, 6th ovate, finger not overlapping apex of 5th, with a prominent 

 accessory unguis. 



The other peraeopods fairly slender, 6th joint longest, finger 

 biunguiculate. 



Operculum of $ pear-shaped, apex truncate. 



The pleopods and uropods were not satisfactorily dissected out. 



Length: 1-1-5 mm. ; breadth: <$ '5mm., $ '75mm. 



Colour: "White with peraeon segments 1-4 greyish-brown, eyes 

 black.
