Second antenna reaching about as far as first, flagellum 13-jointed. 



Epistome with sides straight, proximal end obtuse. 



Mandibles as in D. kraussi, cutting-edge in left mandible obtusely 

 tridentate, in right entire, secondary cutting-edge in left strongly 

 chitinized, entire, in right pale and transparent, serrulate ; spine-row 

 with 5 spines. 



Peraeopods, with thick but short fur on 3rd-6th joints ; 1st 

 peraeopod with a strong doubly-serrate spine-seta on inner apices of 

 4th-6th joints ; smaller unguis feebly bifid ; 7th peraeopod with 

 several long setae on outer margin of 3rd joint and apices of 4th and 

 5th joints, outer margin 6th joint not setose. 



Pleopods 1-3 with 3 hooked setae on inner apex of peduncle ; 

 pleopod 1 without outstanding spine on outer margin of exopod ; 

 pleopod 2 with male stylet f as long again as ramus, stout, apex 

 subacute. 



Uropods scarcely extending beyond telsonic apex, both oval with 

 rounded apices, subequal in length, the outer a little broader than 

 inner. 



Length : 8 mm. ; breadth : 4'5 mm. 



Colour : Head and peraeon segments 1-4 pinky brown, with a 

 round whitish median patch extending over segments 2-4, and 011 

 these same segments 2-3 small round bluish-black spots on either 

 side of the median patch ; segments 5-7, telson, uropods and 

 median portion of 4th pleon segment whitish, the telsonic tubercles 

 pinkish ; lateral portions of 4th pleon segment brown with 2 bluish- 

 black spots. 



Locality : Sea Point, near Cape Town. 15/11/13. (K.H.B.) 

 3 $ $ ', the largest specimen is in process of moulting, probably for 

 the last time since the male stylet and penis are fully developed ; 

 the length of a full-grown specimen will therefore be a little more 

 than that given above. (S.A.M. No. A2609.) 



This species is close to D. australis, Eichardson, in the general 

 scheme of sculpturing of the pleon, but differs in the number of 

 tubercles as well as in the following characters : The single row of 

 tubercles on peraeon segment 7 and the presence of tubercles on 

 the segments anterior to this, the shape of the uropods, the epistome 

 and the details of the peraeopods and pleopods.
