The endopodite of the first pair of feet is one-jointed. There is no setae on the second 

 joint of the basiopodite. 



The endopodite of the second, third and fourth pairs of feet is two-jointed. The terminal 

 spine on the exopodite of the third pair of feet is contained one and a half times in the length 

 of the last joint. The terminal spine on the exopodite of the second and fourth pairs of feet, 

 is similar to that on the exopodite of the third pair. 



The last joint of the fifth pair of feet is long and slender. The joint of one foot is 

 distinctly longer than that of the other. This gives the fifth pair an asymmetrical appearance. 

 The apex of the joint is produced into three closely set teeth. The outer margin is furnished 

 with two small spines. The inner margin bears two moderately long setae (Plate XLYII, figs. 

 15 and 16). 



Male — length 1,8 mm. 



The male resembles the female in general appearance. The abdomen is composed of 

 five joints. The genital segment is asymmetrical. Yiewed from above, the distal end of the 

 right side is seen to be much inflated. Seen from the right side, the inflated region bears a 

 small tooth at each end. The anal segment is asymmetrical as in the female (Plate XLYII, 

 figs. 17 and 18). 



The right antennule is twenty-three-jointed. The hinge is situated between the seventeenth 

 and eighteenth joints. The upper margin of the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth joints, 

 is furnished with a row of dark coloured teeth as in Candacia bradyi. 



The antennae, mandibles, maxillae and maxillipedes are similar to those of the female. 



The four pairs of swimming feet are also similar to those of the female. 



The joints of the left exopodite of the fifth pair of feet are moderately long and broad. 

 The terminal joint is furnished with two outer edge spines and two apical spines. The spines 

 are very small. The right exopodite is short. The moveable claw has a large projection near 

 the distal end of the inner margin (Plate XLYII, fig. 20). 



The males and females of this species are readily separated from the other members 

 of the genus, by the structure of the fifth pair of feet. YVhen viewed from the side, the abdomen 

 of the female is seen to have a general resemblance to that of Candacia chcirura Cleve (1904), 

 but the fifth pair of feet is quite distinct.
