 ^in of the carpus the merus has on the outer margin somewhal from the end a kind of tubulai pro 

 which might be taken as the basal pari of a broken seta, luit the asped oi its wall is different, and on the 

 same -pot I have found a similai tube in the male of the next species. Pirsl pan of legs (Fig 7 I near! 

 in / upus is almosl as long as the merus. Second pair of legs (figs 7 g and 7 h) with merus 



us and propodus somewhat robust; carpus not half as long again as merus, and at the end of its innei 

 rgin with a conical process (fig. 7 h) directed vertically inwards; dactylus not quite twice as long as the 

 us I ropods fig 7 1 oi moderate length; the peduncle about as long as the two posterior abdominal 

 segment- combined, somewhal less than twice as long as the endopod, which has 3 spines on its inner margin 

 the terminal spines on both rami losl 



Length oi the specimen with the marsupium half developed 5.5 mm. 



Adult Male. Carapace from above (fig. 7 1) very oblong-ovate, about three-fourths as long again 

 onsiderably behind the middle a pair of small spine- somewhat removed from one another, but 

 the protuberances bearing in the female these spines have almost disappeared in the male. Seen from the side 

 rapace 1- a good deal lower than in the female pseudorostrum is turned considerably upwards, 

 but it- front margin is angular at the middle, as its upper half is subvertical, its lower half directed not only 

 downwards bu1 besides a little forwards The ocular lobe is linear, much longer than in the female, though 

 rter than in the male P. armata. < >n the right side of the carapace the specimen to hand has three out- 

 ■ ding teeth 011 the posterior part of the lower margin. First and second free segment each with the dorsal 

 median bifid lamella as in the female; the three posterior segments each with some dorsal small teeth and 

 granules, and besides the lateral margins of all segments are irregularly adorned with a few teeth or sometimes 

 only a single tooth. The granulation on the dorsal side of the abdominal segments very fine. -- The uropods 

 Qger than in the female: the peduncle which is only a little longer than the two posterior ab- 

 dominal segmenl I er and considerably less than twice as long as the endopod, has on the inner edge 

 a good number of thin se1 :t and rather close together on the proximal half, and then gradually more 

 gstrongly in length ; the endopod has 8 spines on the innei margin and a long apical spine. 

 Length 5.7 mm. 



marks. This species is allied and rathei similai to P. armata, but is instantly distinguished 



imewhat from one anothei on the upper side ol the carapace rather behind its 



and in the femali these spines is placed on the top ol a large broad, conical protuberance.
