344a Annals of the South African Museum. 



First antenna, 1st joint longest, 3rd shorter than 2nd in $ , 2nd 

 shorter than 3rd in $? , flagellum in $ enlarged, reaching to posterior 

 margin of head, twice as long as peduncle, composed of 1 basal joint 

 and ca. 12 coalesced joints densely setose, in 5 as long as 2nd and 

 3rd peduncular joints together, apparently only 2-jointed, apex setose. 

 Beddard incidentally gives the number of flagellar joints, in speci- 

 mens which he assigns to this species, as 12-14 in $ and 3-4 in $ . 



Second antenna longer than 1st antenna in ? , 1st joint smaller 

 than 2nd, which is not strongly twisted or hollowed, 3rd and 4th 

 subequal, 5th equal to 3rd and 4th together, flagellum 3 jointed, 

 about equal to 5th peduncular joint, in $? 1st joint largest, 2nd and 

 3rd setose, in $ 1st strongly setose, 2nd longest, without setae, 3rd 

 short, with 2-3 apical setae. 



Upper lip symmetrically cleft. 



Lower lip, lobes with a small point on inner apical angle, outer 

 margin setose. 



Mandibles, cutting-edge apparently entire, cutting-plate with 6 

 denticulations, molar stronger in left, almost obsolete in right, palp 

 strong, 1st joint short, 3rd joint a little more than half length of 

 2nd, setose. 



First maxilla with 1 large and 5 smaller apical teeth. 



Second maxilla conical, apex acute. 



Maxilliped consisting of 5 joints, 1st small but distinct, 2nd longest, 

 3rd shortest, 4th nearly as long as 2nd, 5th equal to 3rd, apically 

 rounded, suture between 4th and 5th oblique. 



First peraeopod, 3rd joint equal to 6th, 5th triangular, its apex 

 prominent, truncate, setose, 6th joint large, oval, palm distally emar- 

 ginate, the proximal half setose, 7th joint fitting into the emargina- 

 tion of palm, unguis as long as 7th joint and slightly overlapping 

 apex of 5th. 



Second and third peraeopods, 3rd joint longer than 2nd, 5th 

 underriding 6th, which has a stout spine on inner apex and fine 

 spinules along the inner margin. 



Fourth to seventh peraeopods, rather longer than the anterior 

 peraeopods, 4th joint longer and more slender, 5th triangular, with 

 1 spine on inner apex, to some extent underriding 6th. 



First pleopod opercular, inner apex of peduncle with 6 hooked 

 setae, covering ramus obovate, distal margin rounded, strongly setose, 

 concealed ramus narrow tapering, not as long as and basally only 

 half the width of covering ramus. 



Second pleopod $ , rami equal, apically rounded, male stylet a 

 little longer than rarni, slightly thickened at apex.
