 of the 4" 1 and to the distal extremity of the carpus of the 2 nd . 



In the i st pair of pleopods of the male the endopodite is rudimentary, measuring only 

 one-fourth the length of the exopodite ; in the five following pairs the endopodite measures three- 

 fourths the length of the outer branch, it is much less broad and bears in the 2 nd pair a well- 

 developed, styliform appendix masculina with 4 stout setae at the tip. In the i st pair of pleopods 

 of the female the endopodite is also rudimentary, in the three following it measures a little 

 more than one-fourth and in the 5" 1 pair nearly half the length of the exopodite. 



The male is 30 mm. long, measured in the middle line from the apex of the rostrum 

 to the tip of the telson, the terminal spines excluded, carapace 7,2 mm., abdomen 22,8 mm.;
