Fig. 14. Sguilla parva, male holotype, from Bay of Panama 

 (Albatross Sta. 2802, March 30, 1888). a. telson and left uro- 

 pod; b. free thoracic somites; c. frontal region {b and c from 

 Bigelow). 



number of submedian denticles, which also, in even the smallest speci- 

 mens, are bluntly rounded off distally, at least those nearest the sub- 

 median teeth. I have seen one juvenile which had not yet developed the 

 spine this species carries on each of the anterolateral angles of its cara- 

 pace. No juvenile specimen seemed to have the median carina of the 

 carapace bifurcate at either end, nor did the intermediate carinae run 

 to the anterior margin ; none showed what might be designated as a lat- 

 eral spine on the 5th thoracic somite; all but the specimen with the 

 unarmed anterolateral angles had the 5th abdominal submedian carinae 

 posteriorly spined. 



The raptorial carpus in the adult, or largest specimen noted above, 

 has a noticeably high, thin crest.
