I have some little hesitation in assigning these specimens to this 

 particular species, having had no specimens of this (or of any of the 

 other) species for comparison. They seem, however, to be in close 

 agreement. 



The convex palm of 6th joint of 2nd gnathopod of is not very 

 prominent, and the distal margin of the 5th joint is semicircularly 

 .excavate between the subacute inferior apex and the insertion of the 

 6th joint. Third peraeopod lacks plumose setae, and its finger tapers 

 gradually and is doubtfully serrulate. Rami of 1st uropod armed 

 with 3 spines.
