hum is somewhat tnfid. Eyes long, not retractile. A small pre-orbital spine. 

 Fixed joint of external antennae prolonged externally into a short but acute 

 spine; movable joints not concealed under the rostrum. First pair of feet 

 shorter than the second in the male, than the third in the female; slender, 

 cylindrical, the dactyli straight, in contact throughout their whole length, and 

 almost equal in length to the manus. Four hinder pairs slender, cylindrical, 

 the second rather more than 1% times the entire length of the carapax. Car-

 sides of rostrum ditto. Locality, Magdalena Bay, L. C; dredged at a depth

Length of carapax. 9.5 



Width of ditto.. 6. 



The females are wider in proportion than the males. Notwithstanding the 

 comparative shortness of the rostrum, and also of the carapax, the characters 

 of the eyes and antennas prove this species to be an Inachoides.
