base, but triangular and irregular apically. Eyes very small, of 5-6 

 facets. 



Peraeon segments all equal in length, epimera narrow, only that 

 on 2nd segment produced forwards as an acute spine. 



Pleon segments nearly half the length of the peraeon segments, 

 the 6th abruptly narrower than 5th, telson as long as broad, shortly 

 and obtusely produced between the bases of the uropods, lateral 

 margin with one small notch bearing a seta. 



First antenna, 1st joint with 3-4 blunt spines on outer margin and 

 3 smaller acute ones on inner margin, 2nd joint rather more than |- 

 length of 1st, 3rd shorter still, flagellum 12-jointed, accessory flagellum 

 6-jointed. 



Second antenna, 2nd joint with large blunt tubercles on inner 

 margin (ca. 4 near base and 3 near apex), 3rd, 4th, and 5th joints 

 much narrower than 2nd, flagellum 7-jointed, scale on end of 2nd 

 joint scarcely as long as 3rd joint, with apical setae. 



Mandible, cutting-edge 4-dentate in left, entire in right, secondary 

 cutting-edge in left entire, in right more or less bifid, spine-row with 

 4-5 spines, molar prominent, curved, palp strong, 1st and 2nd joints 

 subequal, 3rd a little shorter, all three especially the 2nd and 3rd 

 setose on inner margin. 



First maxilla, outer lobe with ca. 8 spines, inner with 4 setae, with 

 2-jointed backwardly directed palp. 



Second maxilla, outer and middle lobes subequal, inner lobe 

 broader, rounded. 



Maxilliped, 2nd joint stout, not quite as long as broad, inner plate 

 quadrate, wider distally with 3-4 teeth on inner margin, 3rd joint 

 short, 4th joint stout with 3 strong spines on outer margin, 5th joint 

 oval, 6th joint obovate, apex of inner plate and inner margins of 

 4th-6th joints setose. 



First peraeopod (gnathopod), 2nd joint subquadrate (3rd absent), 

 4th small, triangular, obliquely joined to 5th, which is as long as 2nd, 

 6th large and strong, projecting process (thumb) with 3 large teeth 

 before the terminal tooth, 7th joint (finger) narrowing rapidly from 

 base to apex, slightly curved. No epipod was observed on either of 

 the peraeopods. 



Second peraeopod stout, 2nd joint half as long again as wide, outer 

 margin dentate and setose, 3rd small, inconspicuous, 4th as long as 

 2nd, with 1 spine on both inner and outer apices, 5th shorter with 2 

 spines on inner and 1 on outer apex, 6th a little longer than 5th, inner 

 margin with 3 strong spines, outer margin with 2, 7th nearly as long 

 as 6th, strong, scarcely curved. A small epipod at base of 2nd joint.
