segment, 3rd and 4th joints subequal, 5th joint longest, flagellum 

 equal to peduncle, 12-jointed. 



Mandibles, palp with 1st joint longest, 3rd shortest, narrow and 

 tapering. 



First maxilla very slender, apex w T ith a short stout spine and 

 3-4 setules. 



Second maxilla about thrice as broad as first maxilla, apex 

 bilobed, each lobe with a small apical point. 



Maxilliped, 2nd joint 3i times as long as broad, with 1 long 

 plumose seta on outer apical angle, 3rd joint equal to apical width 

 of 2nd, apical joint with 3-4 recurved spines. 



First peraeopod, 3rd joint with 1 strong spine and 1 seta on outer 

 apex, 4th joint with 3 spines on outer apex, inner margin with 1 

 small spine at base and 2 unequal blunt spines near apex, 5th joint 

 with 1 small spine on inner margin, 6th joint with inner margin 

 obliquely produced, apex with 2 low and blunt teeth and 4 sub- 

 marginal spines, in 5 the teeth are obsolete and 3rd joint has only 

 1 apical spine on inner margin. 



Second and third peraeopods similar, but 4th joint has on inner 

 margin 1 stout, blunt spine at base and 2 unequal, blunt spines 

 at apex. 



Fourth to seventh peraeopods, 3rd joint shorter than 2nd in 4th 

 and 5th peraeopods, subequal in 6th and 7th, inner margin of 3rd, 

 4th and 5th joints with numerous blunt tubercles as well as fairly 

 numerous spines, spines at the apices of the joints strong. 



Second pleopod, outer ramus larger than inner, inner apex of 

 peduncle with 4 hooked and several simple setae, male stylet 

 slender and tapering to an acute apex, shorter than ramus. 



Uropods scarcely reaching telsonic apex ; peduncle extends 

 nearly to end of inner ramus ; inner ramus obovate, apex rounded, 

 margins crenulate and fringed with plumose setae, 2 spines on 

 outer distal margin, in ? similar but more feebly crenulate ; outer 

 ramus subequal to inner ramus in $ , lanceolate, apex acute, 

 margins denticulate, outer margin in addition with 6-7 teeth, 

 increasing in size distally, each with a spine springing from its 

 posterior basal angle, fringed with plumose setae, in $? rather 

 shorter than inner ramus, tapering rather more abruptly to the 

 acute apex, teeth on outer margin not so strong. 



Length: $ 14mm., 5 12mm.; breadth: $ 6-5 mm., $ 6mm. 

 Colour : In spirit, uniform yellowish.
