A specimen which has lost almost all colour distinctions agrees 

 well with Dana's figures of this small species. The carapace 

 has a length of 9 mm., as in the descriptions by de Man and 

 Aleock ; its autero-lateral corners are rounded. The eyes are 

 small, the eye-stalk slender, the ophthalmic scales contiguous. 

 In the chelipeds " the upper surface of the wrist hand and fingers 

 is more or less studded with conical spinules interspersed with 

 setae " (Aleock), and the fingers " have spoon-like excavated 

 tips " (de Man). These tips, like the nails of the ambulatory 

 limbs, ai'e dark. The feet of the third peraeopods are unlike, 

 " the penult joint on left side flattened on outer side, and having 

 a subacute edge above" (Dana). The pleon has a series of 

 four two-branched pleopods on the left side.

The specimens which I am recording under this name show a 

 general agreement with the description and figures supplied by 

 Henderson and Aleock. At the same time there are differences 

 which may eventually justify specific distinction. In that case 

 I venture to propose parazebra for the new species. 



For identification the leading features are the slenderuess of 

 the second a.nd third peraeopods, with the beautiful stripes of 

 colour on those limbs. But a comparison of the large right 

 cheliped with earlier accounts of it suggest either that it is liable 

 to considerable variation or that the present form is specifically 

 distinct. According to Aleock in the large right cheliped the
