transverse row, while every adult specimen of the fine "Siboga" material of S. affine has 4 — 5 

 crystal cones in the row, and no adult specimen with 3 cones is found in the "Siboga" collection. 

 Thouo-h that character mav seem to be small, I have thousfht it advisable to establish a new 

 species on the "Siboga"-specimens instead of referring them as a variety to S. Suhmii. — 

 According to Chun's description and figures of the eyes in his 5. mastigophorum this author 

 has evidently mixed together specimens of S. Suhmii G. O. S. and S. longicome G. O. S.

Description. — The frontal plate is a rather long triangle frequently without any 

 rostrum but with the tip acute or subacute, frequently terminating in a long or very long and 

 distally extremely thin rostrum. The dorsal keel on the gastric area somewhat low. Eyes very 

 high (fig. 5a), somewhat more than twice as high as broad below the middle, with the upper 

 third nearly as broad as, or, in large females, sometimes even broader than, the lower third ; 

 the lower portion not much clarker than the upper. In the female antennulae the. peduncles are 

 longer than the carapace but otherwise shaped as in 5. affine \ the lower flagellum is slightly 

 longer than the upper and both are extremely thin. In the male antennuhe the peduncles are 

 shaped completely as in S. affine; the upper flagellum is a little longer than the peduncle and 

 somewhat shorter than the lower; both peduncles are thicker than in the female, yet very 

 slender in the whóle length excepting the much thickened, very oblong-conical basal joint of 

 the lower peduncle. Antennal squama nearly as in S. affine, 13 to 15 times longer than broad 

 a little behind the base of the marginal tooth, in the female reaching a little beyond the distal 

 end of the second antennular joint, and in the male to the middle of third joint. 



The false chelae of the long legs as in 5". affine. Sixth abdominal segment from half as 

 long again to more than twice as long as deep, with the lower margin rounded flatly upwards
