Crustacean Fauna of South Africa. 251 



serrate or crenulate. Pleou segment 4 with 3 small dorsal teeth, the 

 median one less prominent than the subdorsal ones, pleon segment 5 

 with 2 small subdorsal teeth, a seta in the angle of each tooth- 

 Postero-inferior angle of pleon segment 3 with a small point, margin 

 bulging above. 



Telson with apex straight or slightly emarginate, a spine at both the 

 lateral angles. 



First antenna, 1st joint f 2nd and equal to 3rd, flagellum not quite 

 equal to peduncle, accessory flagellum 7-jointed. 



Second antenna equal to first, ultimate and penultimate joints 

 equal, flagellum shorter than peduncle. Both antennae fringed with 

 long setae on lower margin. 



First gnathopod, 5th joint as wide as and a little longer than 

 6th, the hind margin and palm of the latter forming one continuous 

 c urve. 



Second gnathopod in $ , 6th j oint very large, palm a little oblique, finel 

 hirsute, defined by a small acute tooth, followed by another similar tooth, 

 middle of palm with a low rounded convexity, a squarish, denticulate 

 tooth near the hinge, finger closing within defining tooth, tapering 

 evenly, not strongly curved ; in ? 6th smaller and much narrower in 

 proportion to length than in <$ , defining tooth rather stout, near it is 

 an elongate but very stout spine, near hinge a squarish tooth, finger 

 overlapping defining tooth. 



Third peraeopod, 2nd joint broadly oval, hind-margin setose and 

 slightly serrate. 



Fourth and fifth peraeopods subequal, larger than 3rd, 2nd joint 

 half as long again as broad, postero-inferior angle quadrate, not 

 produced, hind margin straight, in <$ strongly, in ? slightly serrate. 



Third uropod, peduncle with 3 stout apical spines, inner rarnus 

 smaller than outer. 



Length : $ 4 mm., $ 6 mm. 



Colour : Whitish with a series of grey-brown lateral spots, 1 on each 

 segment above the junction of side-plates, back and 2nd joint of the 

 gnathopods and peraeopods speckled with grey, distal joints of 

 peraeopods speckled and banded with grey, eyes black. 



Locality : Buffel's Bay (False Bay). 28/9/13 and 1/3/15. (K.H.B.) 

 1 <$ , 5 ovigerous <j> ? , and 3 $ $ , 1 ovigerous $ . (S.A.M. Nos. 

 A2956 and A3286.) 



This species is near E. dentatus (Chevreux), (Ees. Camp. Monaco, 

 vol. 16, p. 93, pi. 12, fig. 1), but the side-plates are not dentate, the 

 palm of 2nd gnathopod in <$ has an additional tooth, and the eye is 

 smaller and horizontal.
