The South African specimens call for no remarks except that : the 

 second maxilla has only 1 seta in the middle of the outer margin of 

 the outer plate, the 2nd and 3rd pleon segments are without spines 

 along the inferior margin. The rami of 1st and 2nd uropods as in 

 the typical Challenger specimen, though the spines appear to be less 

 numerous, as far as can be judged, since only their scars remain; 

 outer margin of outer ram us of 1st and 2nd uropods scarcely or not 

 at all serrulate.
