EURYCOPE SULCIFEONS 11. Sp. 



(Plate XVII. Figs. 22, 23.) 



Body smooth, glabrous. Head short laterally but strongly pro- 

 duced forwards in a moderately broad process, which is apically 

 rounded and dorsally shallowly grooved, a low rounded tubercle in the 

 middle of the head. Peraeon segments 1-4 increasing gradually in 

 width and length, laterally rounded, with rounded side-plates ; seg- 

 ments 5-7 decreasing in width posteriorly, 5 longest at the sides, 6 

 longest dorsally, the anterior margin rather strongly convex, 7 of equal 

 width throughout and about equal to the greatest length of 5, antero- 

 and postero-lateral angles rounded. Pleon as broad as long, antero- 

 lateral angles quadrate, apex rounded. 



Antenna 1, 1st joint apically rounded, scarcely produced, 3rd nearly 

 equal to 2nd, flagellum incomplete but at least 14-jointed. 



Only the basal joints of antenna 2 remaining. 



Maxilliped, 4th joint broader than long, outer apex shortly and 

 acutely produced, 5th broader than long, greatest length on inner 

 margin, which is distally cut into small shallow notches each with a 

 setule, outer margin very short, outer apex acute, 6th strongly lobed 

 internally, epipod reaching to middle of 5th joint, lanceolate, a little 

 more than twice as long as broad, apex acute, outer margin scarcely 

 angular, concentric sculpturing faint. 



Peraeopods 1-4 lost. Peraeopods 5-7, 5th joint very strongly 

 expanded, 6th also broadly ovate, not twice as long as broad, 7th | 

 width of 6th, straight, narrow-ovate. 



Pleopod 1 in <$ , peduncle widest basally, tapering with slightly 

 sinuous margins lateral to a blunt apex bearing a few setules, rami not 

 distinct. Operculum in ? nearly circular. 



Pleopod 2 in <$ , peduncle semicircular, inner margin slightly concave, 

 stylet inserted about the middle, basal part of 2nd joint rather stout, 

 distal part abruptly narrower, outer ramus between stylet and apex of 

 peduncle. 



Uropods lost. 



Length: 4mm.; breadth: 1*5 mm. 



Colour : In spirit dirty pinkish.
