Figure h.—Pseudaristeus kathleenae-A, cr 26 mm CL, Lagonoy Gulf, east of southern Luzon, Philippines, distal 

 articles of left third maxilliped, lateral view. B, Q 39 mm CL, Teluk Bone, Sulawesi, Indonesia, distal articles of 

 right antennular peduncle and flagella, dorsal view. C, same 9, distal articles of left third maxilliped, dorsal 

 view. Scales = 2 mm. 



ible setae, and entire ventral margin supporting 

 numerous ones. In females (Fig. 5C), ultimate arti- 

 cle slender, flattened, broadening slightly from nar- 

 row base, then tapering gently to blunt apex. 



Pereopods not covered with setae; first and sec- 

 ond with broad, compressed merus bearing small, 

 slender, distomesial spine. 



Abdomen with sharp dorsomedian carina extend- 

 ing from posterior 0.75 of fourth somite posterior- 

 ly through sixth somite and produced in spine on 

 caudal margin of last 3 somites; sixth also bearing 

 pair of minute posteroventral spines and 2 elongate 

 cicatrices. Telson with median sulcus weak, usual- 

 ly distinct along anterior 0.75 length of telson, and 

 flanked by paired longitudinal dorsolateral ridges; 

 bearing 4 pairs of movable spines: 3 at about 0.60, 

 0.75, 0.85 length from basal margin of telson, fourth 

 flanking short terminal part. Mesial ramus of uropod 

 surpassing apex of telson by as much as 0.40 its own 

 length; lateral ramus overreaching mesial ramus by 

 as much as 0.33 its own length. 



Petasma (Figs. 6,1A,B) with dorsomedian lobule 

 cincinnulate along entire mesial margin. Ventro- 

 median lobule extending distally as far as dorso- 

 lateral lobule and bearing elongate, lapel-like flap 



Figure 6.—Pseudaristeus kathleenae, cr 24.5 mm CL, Lagonoy Gulf, 

 east of southern Luzon, Philippines. Petasma and proximal part 

 of first pleopods, dorsal view. Scale = 2 mm.
