outer edge spines and two apical ones. The third joint of the left exopodite bears one outer 

 edge, one inner edge, and one apical spine (Plate XLI, fig. 10). 



This male is quite distinct from the male of Lucicuiia grandis Giesbrecht, and from the 

 species described as Lucicutia jlavicornis by Bradv in the report on the 'Challenger' Copepoda. 



Wolfenden (1905), regards Lucicutia maxima, to be identical with Giesbrecht's Lucictitia 

 grandis, and also with the Atlantic form recorded by himself as Lucicutia grandis. When full 

 illustrations are published by Steuer, the question of identity will probably be cleared up. In 

 the meantime, I consider the male illustrated in this report to be that of Lucicutia maxima 

 Steuer, and distinct from the male of Giesbrecht's Lucicutia grandis.

Female — length 3,4 mm. 



Seen from above, the body appears oblong ovate, and moderately robust. The cephalic 

 segment is moderately wide. It is without lateral processes. The rostral papilla is not visible. 

 The last thoracic segment is much contracted posteriorly. The distal margïns are narrowly rounded. 

 Viewed from the side, the last thoracic segment is rather truncate at the distal end, and the 

 posterio-ventral margin is rounded (Plate XL, fig. 12). The rostral filaments are long and slender. 



The abdomen is composed of four segments. The combined length of the abdomen and 

 furca is contained nearly twice in the total length of the ccphalotlwrax\ from the frontal margin 

 to the distal end of the last thoracic segment. The genital segment is slightly longer than the 

 combined length of the next two segments. The dorsal surface of the segment is nearly straight. 

 The ventral surface is much inflated. The second and fourth segments are of nearly equal length. 

 The third segment is much shorter than the third or fourth segments. The furcal joints are 

 six times longer than broad. Each furcal joint is as long as the combined length of the last 

 three abdominal segments and is furnished with one outer edge setae. 



The antennules are twenty-five-jointed, and extend slightly beyond the end of the furca. 

 The last joint is equal to about one-third of the length of the second last joint. 



The antennae, mandibles, maxillae and maxillipecles are nearly similar to those of 

 Lucicutia èicornuta. 



The exopodites and endopodites of the five pairs of feet are three-jointed. The inner 

 distal spine on the second joint of the exopodite of the fifth pair is moderately slender. It is 

 much attenuated from the middle to the apex. lts length is contained rather more than one 

 and two-third times in the length of the third joint. The terminal spine on the exopodite of 

 the fifth pair is distinctly longer than the third joint (Plate XL, fig. 18). 



Male unknown. 



This species has a certain amount of resemblance to Lucicutia longicornis, but can 

 readily be distinguished from it by the shorter genital segment, and by the length of the 

 furcal joints. 



O c cu r re nee. — One specimen was obtained from the plankton collected with the 

 Hensen vertical net at Station 118, 900 metres to the surface.
