pubescent. In the female the peraeon and pleon are smooth, but 

 with irregular reticulations chiefly noticeable on the pleon. The 

 epimera with long setae. A transverse row of tubercles on 5th 

 peraeon segment in J , and 2 rows on both the 6th and 7th seg- 

 ments. In 2 no tubercles on any of the segments. Pleon in 

 $ with 2 submedian tubercles on 4th segment, telson with 2 sub- 

 median ridges each with a small pointed tubercle at base and another 

 at apex, below the latter the ridge is setose, 2 setose tubercles a 

 little outside the posterior ends of ridges, apex deeply trifid, lateral 

 and median lobes apically bifid, the median lobe not reaching beyond 

 lateral lobes, with a smooth backwardly curving tubercle at its base. 

 In 2 the pleon is without any tubercles, telson evenly convex from 

 base to apex, apex shallowly trifid, setose. 



Flagella of 1st and 2nd antennae respectively 26 and 21-jointed 

 in $ , 24 and 20-jointed in ? . 



First maxilla with 9 spines in $ , 11 in 2 , on outer plate. 



First peraeopod, outer apex of 3rd joint with 3 spines in $ , 2 in 

 2 , inner margin of 4th, 5th and 6th joints with 6, 4, and 5 spines 

 respectively in both sexes. 



Male appendages on 7th peraeon segment elongate, slender and 

 tapering. 



First to third pleopods with 3 hooked spines on inner apex of 

 peduncle, male stylet on 2nd pleopod extending beyond ramus, 

 straight, apex obliquely truncate. 



Uropods, in $ both rami extend beyond telsonic apex, inner 

 ramus parallel-sided, truncate, outer ramus broader than and folding 

 under inner, ovate, with apical denticle, both rami strongly setoss ; 

 in 2 rami extend only a very little beyond telsonic apex, inner 

 ramus truncate, the slightly concave truncate margin and the outer 

 margin obscurely denticulate, outer ramus ovate, both margins 

 obscurely denticulate, both rami with long closely-set setae.
