In the shape of the head and the body this species is close to E. 

 parva Bonnier (I.e. p. 600, pi. 33, fig. 4). The 5th and 6th peraeou 

 segments, however, are not fused dorsally, segments 1-4 are not 

 produced anteriorly and the 1st and 2nd pleopods differ in shape. 



EURYCOPE QUADRATA n. sp. 



(Plate XVII. Figs. 20, 21.) 



Body smooth, glabrous. Head moderately long, shortly produced in 

 front in a quadrangular process broader than long. Peraeon seg- 

 ments l-4subequal, increasing in width, side-plates directed forwards, 

 acute ; segments 5-7 decreasing in width, 5 and 6 subequal in length 

 and of equal length throughout, 7 nearly as long as 5 and 6 together, 

 antero-lateral angles of all three acutely, but shortly, produced for- 

 wards, postero-lateral angles rounded. Pleon as broad as long, 

 antero-lateral angles acute, apex rounded. 



Antenna 1, 1st joint apically rounded, not produced, the other joints 

 lost, 



Antenna 2, all except the basal joints lost. 



Maxilliped, 4th and following joints in all the specimens broken 

 off, epipod similar to that of E. cornuta (figured by Sars, I.e. pi. 64), 

 apically acute, outer margin strongly produced in a blunt process, 

 with the margin on either side concave, concentric sculpturing on 

 epipod and 2nd joint strongly marked. 



Peraeopods 1-7 all lost. 



Pleopod 1 in cf , peduncles of nearly the same width throughout, 

 lateral margins sinuous, apices narrow acute, rami distinct, apically 

 subacute with a few setules. 



Pleopod 2 in <^, peduncle subtriangular, inner margins straight, 

 outer strongly angular near base, apex truncate, stylet inserted about 

 middle of inner margin, tapering gradually, outer ramus broad, inserted 

 on the truncate apex of peduncle. 



Uropods lost. 



Length: 4mm.; breadth: I 1 75 mm. 



Colour: In spirit dirty pinkish.
