Only two species of this genus are so far known : C. megaclieles 

 (Giles) from Ceylon and South Africa, and C. australis Stebbing 

 1910, from New South Wales. From both of these the following 

 species is easily separated by the form of the 2nd gnathopods in 

 the <J . 



CHEIRIPHOTIS DURBANENSIS n. sp. 



Body slender and somewhat depressed. Antero-lateral angle of 

 head not greatly produced, occupied by about half of the oval-shaped 

 eye. Side-plates shallow, the first produced forwards to a subacute 

 apex. Postero-lateral angle of 3rd pleon segment rounded-quadrate. 

 Telsou broader than long, distal margin concave between the postero- 

 lateral angles, near both of which there is a small group of setules. 



First antenna, 1st and 2nd joints subequal, 3rd shorter, flagellum 

 6-8-jointed, accessory flagellum 3-jointed, 3rd joint minute. 



Second antenna subequal to first, 4th and 5th joints subequal, 

 flagellum subequal to 5th joint, 6- jointed. 



Upper lip slightly bilobed. 



Lower lip with the inner lobes larger than the outer, apically 

 abruptly truncate, the inner and outer apical angles being right 

 angles, outer lobes obtusely rounded.
