lanceolate, reaching to middle of 4th joint, margins smooth. 

 First peraeopod (gnathopod), 3rd 4th and 5th joints short, 6th 

 joint ovate-fusiform, posterior margins of 5th and 6th joints with 

 pectinate setae, 7th joint two-thirds length of 6th, setose, 

 biunguiculate. 



Second, third and fourth peraeopods similar to one another 

 except that the 2nd joint is barely longer than 3rd in peraeopod 

 2, longer in peraeopod 3 and twice as long in peraeopod 4, 3rd and 

 4th joints short in all three peraeopods, 5th and 6th joints subequal, 

 7th joint three-quarters as long as 6th, bearing in peraeopods 2 and 

 3 1 very long and 1 shorter unguis, the longer one nearly twice 

 length of 7th joint, and in peraeopod 4 2 short ungues, the longer 

 of which is not half the length of 7th joint, inner margins of 

 2nd-6th joints with long setae. 



Fifth, sixth and seventh peraeopods similar to one another except 

 that 2nd joint is long and narrow in peraeopod 5, shorter and some- 

 what ovate in peraeopod 6 and still shorter, strongly ovate and equal 

 to the 3rd joint in peraeopod 7, 4th and 5th joints short, 6th joint 

 with 4 curved spines on hind margin, each spine bearing a little 

 tuft of setules on its outer edge, 3rd and 6th joints subequal, 7th 

 joint shorter than 6th, setose, biunguiculate. 



Male stylet on seventh peraeon segment, margins sinuous, apex 

 deeply bind, the lobes blunt. 



No appendage on the 3rd or 5th peraeon segment. 



First pleopod, peduncle with ca. 10 teeth on outer margin and 

 3 hooked spines on inner margin, endopod a little longer than 

 peduncle, with plumose setae, exopod nearly twice length of 

 peduncle, outer margin bearing 5 simple setae followed by 6 

 plumose setae, after which is a deep incision, the apex is bifid, 

 the outer and longer lobe spoon-shaped, with strong teeth on 

 inner margin and apically hirsute, inner lobe with plumose setae, 

 a setose ridge runs nearly whole length of exopod, ending on 

 the inner margin of the outer lobe. 



Second pleopod, peduncle short and broad, outer margin with 

 2 plumose setae, inner with 3 hooked spines, rami equal, with 

 plumose setae, penial filament rather longer than rami, broadened 

 and bilobed distally, the inner lobe longer and narrower than the 

 outer. Third, fourth and fifth pleopods lanceolate, the endopods of 

 the third and fourth pairs shorter than the exopods. 



Uropods elongate lanceolate, proximally rounded, minutely 

 setulose on both margins, outer margin distally with long plumose 

 setae and a short stout spine at the junction with the exposed lobe,
