Second antenna reaching to end of 2nd peraeon segment in one 

 specimen, to end of 3rd in the East London specimen, 1st joint larger 

 than 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th increasing in length, flagellum half as 

 long again as peduncle, 15-17-jointed. 



Mandibles, trunk stout, apex entire, not very acute nor curving 

 inwards, palp longer than trunk, 1st and 3rd joints subequal, 2nd 

 half as long again. 



First maxilla rather stout, apex with 1 stout spine and 4 smaller 

 ones. 



Second maxilla, basal joint rapidly narrowed distally, outer lobe 

 rounded with 2 hooked spines, inner lobe smaller with 3 not strongly 

 hooked spines. 



Maxilliped, apex of 4th joint with 2 setae, of 5th with 2 spines and 

 1 seta, 6th joint not broader than long, with 3 hooked spines, 7th 

 conical, small, with 1 long apical seta and 2 smaller ones, inner plate 

 reaching to middle of 4th joint, unarmed. 



First peraeopod inner apex of 3rd joint unarmed, inner margin of 

 4th with 3 blunt spines, of 6th with 1 sharp apical spine and 1 very 

 small subapical one. 



Second and third peraeopods, apex of 3rd joint with 1 spine, inner 

 margin of 4th joint with 5 blunt spines, of 6th as in first peraeopod. 



Fourth to seventh peraeopods, 3rd joint not elongate, in 7th 

 peraeopod about half length of 2nd, all joints (except 2nd) armed 

 with numerous strong spines. 



Second pleopod, male stylet straight, fairly stout, tapering to an 

 acute apex, shorter than ramus, inner margin of peduncle with 6 

 hooked spines and numerous plumose setae. 



Uropods, peduncle three-quarters length of inner ramus ; inner 

 ramus only just reaching beyond telsonic apex, apex truncate, inner 

 angle rounded, outer angle acute, posterior margin with 4 in- 

 dentations from each of which arises a spine, outer distal margin 

 with 1 large spineless indentation and 2 smaller ones with spines, 

 posterior and outer margins in addition finely crenulate and fringed 

 with plumose setae ; outer ramus shorter than inner and scarcely 

 half as wide, lanceolate, apex acute, inner margin with 2, outer with 

 ca. 8 spines, margins not creuulate but fringed with plumose setae. 



The East London specimen differs slightly in having 6 spines 

 and much stronger indentations and crenulations on posterior margin 

 of inner ramus.
