thickened, and also a median ridge; the inner and distal margin 



ciliated. 



The eye is very large, reniform, with the outer and lower surfaces 



very convex ; shining black. 



The antennulae have the basal article with an incised, acuminate- 



lobate, leaf -like lateral process on the outer side proximally, shielding 



the eye ; also a small, rounded free process at the upper distal margin. 



The second article is cylindrical, about two-thirds as long as the 



preceding article ; the distal article is small, cylindrical ; the biramose 



flagellum is short, with the upper branch scarcely twice, the lower 



branch two and one-half times, as long as the third peduncular article. 

 The antennae have a short basal article which supports the long, 



narrow scaphocerite ; the second article is rudimentary; the third 



article is somewhat longer, compressed cylindrical; the flagellum is 



very fine, about 47.5 mm. long. 



The first, second and third legs are chelate, increasing in size in 



the order named, in the ratio shown in the accompanying illustration. 



The fourth and fifth legs are monodactyl, each with the merus and 



carpus subequal, elongated ; the propodus almost as long as the carpus 



and the curved, tapering dactyl about one-half as long as the related 



propodus.
