Description. ■ — This species shows some variation in various particulars. Eye-stalks 

 with eyes vary from a little more to conspicuously less than half as long as the distance between 

 their insertion and the labrum (fig. 4 a); the stalks nearly as in L. penicillifer, as sometimes 

 they are conspicuously inverted conical, and sometimes increasing feebly in thickness to near 

 or beyond the middle. First antennular joint in both sexes either reaches a little beyond the 

 eyes or, and perhaps most frequently, it is proportionately shorter, reaching to (fig. 4a) or not 

 fully to the front margin of the eyes. Sixth abdominal segment in the male somewhat (fig. 4Ó) 

 or, most frequently, much deeper (fig. 4X') in proportion to its length than in the preceding 

 forms; the first ventral process is much shorter than the second, and sometimes quite small 

 (fig. 4/Ê); besides it is always distinctly nearer to the second process than to the base of the 

 segment, and in most males the distance between the median point in the base of the two 

 processes is about half, or even only one-third, as long as the distance from the base of the 

 segment to the first process ; second process tapers always to the obtuse end, but it varies
