First peraeopod, inner apex of 3rd joint without spine, inner 

 margin of 4th joint with 1 basal and 2 apical spines. 



Second paraeopod, inner apex of 3rd joint with 1 spine, inner 

 margin of 4th joint with 3 basal and 2 apical spines. 



Third peraeopod, inner apex of 3rd joint with 2 spines, inner 

 margin of 4th joint with 3-4 (right and left peraeopods respectively) 

 basal and 2 apical spines. 



Fourth peraeopod, 3rd and 4th joints subequal, as also the 5th 

 and 6th, the number of spines as follows : inner apex 2nd joint 

 2 small ones, outer apex of 3rd joint 2, inner margin of 3rd joint 

 1 near base 2 in middle and 2 at apex, outer apex of 4th joint 3, 

 inner margin of 4th joint 1 basal 3 median and 3 apical, outer 

 apex 5th joint 3, inner margin of 5th joint 1 basal 3 median and 

 4 apical, outer apex of 6th joint 1 spine and 2 setae, inner margin 

 of 6th joint 1 basal 1 median and 2 apical. 



Seventh peraeopod more slender than preceding, perhaps due to 

 immaturity of the specimen ; the spines are as follows : inner apex 

 of 2nd joint 2, outer apex of 3rd joint 3, inner margin of 3rd joint 

 1 basal 1 median 2 apical, outer apex of 4th joint 5, inner margin 

 of 4th joint 1 basal 2 median 4 apical, inner margin of 5th joint 

 1 basal 2 median and whole of apical margin with spines, outer 

 apex of 6th joint 2 small spines and 1 seta, inner margin of 6th 

 joint 1 basal 2 median and 3 apical. 



Second pleopod with 9 hooked spines and 8 plumose setae on 

 inner margin of penduncle. 



Uropods, peduncle f length of inner rainus, rami scarcely as long 

 as telson, inner ramus truncate, distal margin slightly emarginate, 

 both outer and distal margins fringed with plumose setae, denticulate, 

 each with ca. 10 spines ; outer ramus narrower than inner, apically 

 rounded, margins fringed with plumose setae, outer and distal
