joint as long as the 2 nd and 3 ld taken together, 3 rd joint twice as long as 2 nd ; flagella not 

 complete. Antennular scale acute, its distal half twisted, like in other species, to a right angle 

 vvith the basal portion and sharply carinate above ; the scale reaches almost to the end of basal 

 article. There is a small spine, directed inward, on the anterior margin of the lower surface of 

 basal antennal article and the peduncle hardly projects beyond the i st article of the inner antennae. 

 Scaphocerite (Fig. 6 e) g l / 2 mm. long, half as long as the carapace and about 4-times as long 

 as wide, presenting its greatest width at the posterior fourth and narrowing from here much more 

 distallythan proximally; outer margin slightly convex, terminal spine well developed, 0,6 mm. 

 long, '/ie the entire length of the scale. 



External maxillipedes reaching almost to the apex of the antennal scales, the terminal 

 joint, like in Pas. cristata, somewhat spatuliform and widened distally, about one and a half as 

 long as the preceding joint. The peraeopods of the i st pair (Fig. 6/) extend by a little more than 

 half the length of the fingers beyond the antennal scale, those of the 2 nd by two-thirds that 

 length. Ischium of i st legs unarmed, but with some short setae on the lower margin. Merus 

 7,7 mm. long, 12-times as long as wide in the middle and somewhat thickened at the distal 

 end, being here one-third thicker than in the middle; lower margin with 2 small spinules in the 

 middle, of which the posterior larger one is 0,3 mm. long. Carpus one-fourth of the merus and 

 half as thick distally as it is long. Chela a trifle, viz. 1 / 1 . , longer than the merus, palm or.e- 

 fourth longer than the fingers and nearly 4-times as long as wide in the middle, narrowing 

 somewhat towards the carpal articulation and towards that of the fingers; fingers tapering, 

 crossing one-another and acumi-nate. Exopodite reaching to the middle of the merus. 



Lower margin of base of 2 nd legs (Fig. 6g) terminating in a small spine, for the rest unarmed 

 like the ischium. Merus 9,6 mm. long, one-fourth longer than that of i st legs, its form is the 

 same, but it is not thickened at the distal extremity and it is armed, along the lower margin, 

 with 14 spinules of somewhat unequal length, though usually 0,32 — 0,35 mm. long. Carpus 

 about one-sixth the length of the merus, one and a half as long as thick distally, the lower 

 margin terminating in an acute spine. Chela 10,4 mm. long, nearly as long as the merus, fingers 

 (6,1 mm.) about one and a half as long- as the palm (4,3 mm.), that is 4-times as long as 

 wide; fingers like those of i st pair. Exopodite reaching to the 2 nd third of the merus. 



The merus of the slender legs of the 3 rd pair (Fig. 6//), that extend almost to the distal end 

 of the merus of 2 nd pair, is 8,8 mm. long, 55-times as long as wide in the middle and gradually 

 thickens somewhat towards the proximal extremity, a little less towards the distal one. The carpus, 

 4-times as long as thick in the middle, is short and measures but l J ls the length of the merus. 

 The tapering terminal joint, finally, is 3,8 mm. long, not yet half as long as the merus; it carries a 

 few setae and 3 or 4 at the extremity. The exopodite does not extend to the middle of the merus. 



Legs of 4 th pair (Fig. 62', 6/), half as long as the 3 rd , less slender. Ischium 1,2 mm. long, 

 merus 3,15 mm., carpus 0,8 mm., propodus 1,56 mm. and dactylus 0,46 mm.; merus 12-times 

 as long as wide, somewhat setose, carpus one-fourth, propodus half as long as the merus, dactylus 

 about one-third of the propodus, 3-times as long as broad, with some setae along the lower 

 margin, the longest of which, at the distal extremity, is one and a half as long as the joint. 

 Exopodite reaching to the distal end of the carpus.
