margin with 2, outer apex with 3 spines, 5th joint with 2 groups of 

 ca.9 spines each (not divided into marginal and submarginal groups), 

 inner apex with 4 spines, outer margin with 2, outer apex with 

 4 spines, 6th joint with 2 groups of 5-6 spines each, inner apex 

 with 4, outer apex with 1 spine, unguis strong, a stout seta in 

 place of secondary unguis. 



Male appendages on 7th peraeon segment close together, short, 

 very stout, almost obovate, apices rounded. 



First to third pleopods with 4 hooked setae on inner apex of 

 peduncle. Male stylet on 2nd pleopod arising half-way along margin 

 of ramus, extending a little beyond apex of ramus, apex slightly 

 enlarged with its inner margin setulose and a minute terminal point 

 (see Hansen, 1890, I.e. pi. 6, figs. 20 and 3/i.). 



Uropods, outer and inner apices of peduncle each with 1 spine, 

 inner ramus rather longer than telson, very broad, outer ramus rather 

 shorter, inner distal margins of both rarni with long plumose setae. 



Telson with posterior margin denticulate, one plumose seta
