Second gnathopod anterior apex of 2nd and 3rd joints forming rounded 

 lobes. 6th joint twice as long as broad, no inferior margin, palm 

 slightly sinuous, setose, with a conical tooth a little beyond the middle, 

 a larger one nearer the hinge, followed by a large triangular, anteriorly 

 crenate and setose tooth just before the hinge,' finger nearly as long 

 as palm, inner margin with 3 emarginations, the two distal ones 

 setose. 



First and second peraeopocls, 2nd joint linear; 4th longer than 5th 

 but shorter than 6th. 



Third peraeopod similar but posterior apex of 2nd joint slightly 

 expanded as a rounded lobe, 4th subequal to 6th. 



Fourth arid fifth peraeopods, 2nd joint expanded, oval, otherwise 

 similar to third peraeopod, 7th joint on all the peraeopods stout. 



All the uropods slender. 



First uropod, peduncle longer than rami, of which outer is longer 

 than inner, peduncle and both margins of rami spinulose. 



Second uropod, peduncle and ramus subequal, outer ramus shorter, 

 peduncle and rami spinulose. 



Third uropod, ramus shorter than peduncle, 2nd joint half length of 

 first, peduncle with 4 stout spines, 1st joint of ramus with 2 marginal 

 and 1 apical spines. 



Length : 6 mm. 



Colour : In spirit, pale pinkish. 



Locality : Sandy Point. N. i E., distant 10 miles (near Cape 

 Morgan). 95 fathoms. 1 <J . s.s. " Pieter Faure." 14/8/01. (S.A.M. 

 No. A214.) 



The specific name in allusion to the elongate 1st gnathopods, which 

 are somewhat similar to those of Metopa norvegica (Lilj.).

Since Walker in 1909 corrected his original statement and declares 

 that the 2nd joint of the 3rd peraeopod is as narrow as that of peraeo- 

 pods 1 and 2, the only outstanding difference between his species and 

 crenulata Chevreux vanishes.
