which is a poorly developed serration ; rest of appendage slender, articles 

 5-6 subequal in length. 



Uropod 1 : rami shorter than peduncle, the latter with outer margin 

 bearing 2 slender setae and a terminal stout spine, each ramus with a mar- 

 ginal slender spine and an apical spinule. 



Uropod 2: rami shorter than peduncle, peduncular margin bearing 

 about 6 slender spines, each ramus with a slender marginal and a stout 

 terminal spine. 



Uropod 3 : inner ramus two thirds as long as outer, article 2 of outer 

 ramus slightly less than one fourth as long as article 1. 



Telson moderately narrow, apices subacute, armed laterally with 3 

 slender spines or setae each. 



Third epimeron posterior edge convex, sweeping into a small point 

 at lower corner where 2 short setae are borne. 



Male. — With typical sexual dimorphism. 



Holotype. — AHF No. 538, female, 3 mm. 



Type locality. — Station 2311-53, off Huntington Beach, California, 

 33-40-00 N, 118-05-08 W, 12 fms, sandy mud, May 16, 1953. 



Remarks. — This species looks much like Paraphoxus abronius n. sp. 

 but differs in lacking a long epistomal cusp, in the slightly broader 

 rostrum, in the fewer teeth on peraeopod 5 and other minor differences.
