angle acute; the propodus is quite slender, about a third longer than 

 the merus, very compressed laterally and increasing in breadth dis- 

 tally, with the lower lateral margin convex, the upper outer margin 

 laminate, and relatively straight, set with three acute spines on the 

 proximal half; there are three cavities within the margin into which 

 the three finger-like spines of the propodus are sheathed; the dactyl 

 is fully as long as the propodus, greatly compressed laterally; the 

 distal half is a slender, curved, rapier-like spine with acuminate tip 

 and the inner margin roughened like a file; there are two slender, 

 curved, acute teeth with file-like surfaces arising about midway the 

 inner margin. 



The third maxilliped and first and second pairs of thoracic legs 

 are similar in structure, successively decreasing in size posteriorly, 

 with the ischium elongated, narrowed but wider distally; the merus 

 two-thirds as long as the ischium and excavate on its inferior margin 

 for the reception of the reflexed propodus ; the carpus is small, hinge- 

 like, the propodus elongate-ovate, thickened, its inner margin abun- 

 dantly set with bristles, the dactyl is short, curved, acuminate, fitting 

 upon the inner margin of the propodus, claw-like. 



The third, fourth and fifth pairs of legs are slender, stick-like, 

 each with a slender, cane-like exopodite that is subequal to its related 

 joint; the distal article is armed along its inferior lateral and distal 

 margin with a series of acute spines.
