Crustacean Fauna of South Africa. 147 



subacute, without setae or teeth, outer plate reaching to end of 2nd 

 joint of palp, apex with 1 incurved spine, inner margin very minutely 

 crenulate, 2nd joint palp with a tuft of setae on inner apex, 3rd joint 

 distinctly narrower than 2nd and nearly twice as long, inner apex 

 slightly produced beyond insertion of the narrow, uuguiform 4th 

 joint, a subapical group of setules on inner margin of 3rd joint. 



First guathopod subchelate, 2nd joint not lobed on anterior apex, 

 5th joint produced below into a narrow process, apically subacute and 

 bearing 4 long spines, 6th ovate, broader across junction of palm, with 

 inferior margin, which junction is ill defined and non-angular, but 

 bearing a small spine, palm with numerous denticles and 2 short 

 spines, between which margin is convex, as is also the case between 

 the upper spine and the hinge, finger curved, inner margin Avith 11 

 strong pointed, outstanding teeth. 



Second gnathopod similar to 1st but a little larger, 6th joint expand- 

 ing a little distally, palm evenly convex, its junction with inferior 

 margin a little more angular, but still not well-defined, studded with 

 minute tubercles. 



First and second peraeopods slender, very sparsely spiuose, finger 

 without apical tubercle. 



Third peraeopod slender, similar to 1st and 2nd, 2nd joint not 

 enlarged. 



Fourth and fifth peraeopods stouter, 2nd joint expanded oblong, 

 hind margin straight, entire, postero-inferior angle rounded, 4th pro- 

 duced on hind margin to middle (4th peraeopod) or end (5th peraeo- 

 pod) of 5th joint, fiuger without a tubercle. 



First uropod reaching beyond 2nd and 3rd, ranii subequal, as long- 

 as peduncle. 



Second uropod, outer ramus f length of inner. 



Third uropod, outer ramus equal to peduncle and -f inner ramus, 

 not reaching apex of inner ramus of 2nd uropod, apex of peduncle 

 acutely produced. Upper margin of all the ranii of all 3 uropod s 

 finelv serrulate.

Lei/gtii : 2 inni. 



Colour : Uniform dark claret, 4th-6th pleou segments, telson,
