The antennae are widely separated and seem to be composed of 

 three articles. The antennulae are concealed by the maxillipeds. 

 The tips of the mandibles project between the maxillipeds. 



The five pairs of legs are crowded closely together, within the oral 

 area. There are five pairs of incubatory plates. The first and fifth 

 pairs are the largest and overlap the other three pairs, so as to partly 

 or entirely conceal them. By carefully lifting these the others are 

 easily seen lying beneath. The pleopoda consist of a single pair of 

 large plates situated on the ventral side of the body just below the 

 last pair of incubatory plates. There are no uropoda. 



On the posterior margin of the border which surrounds the pleopoda 

 at the terminal part of the body are eleven teeth, one in the median 

 line, a,nd five on either side. These teeth indicate the coalesced ab- 

 dominal segments. 



Locality. — Only one specimen, a female was collected at Station 

 4,621 in latitude 6° 36' N., long. 81° 44' \V. at a depth of 5S1 fathoms. 



The host is unknown. 



Type.— Cat. No. 46,432, U. S. N. M. 



Only three other species of this genus have been described, Zono- 

 phryxus rctrodcns Richardson, Z. trUohus Richardson, and Z. grimaldii 

 Koehler. The present species is very close to Z. trilobiis but differs 

 in the narrower cephalic region, which is more triangular in appearance 

 in both a dorsal view and a ventral view, in the presence of eye pits, 

 in the invisibility of the cephalic border in a dorsal view, in the contour 

 of the body, and in the greater number of teeth on the posterior border.

Body gradually increasing in width backward from the first to the 

 fourth free thoracic segment. The head is 2 mm. wide, the first free 

 thoracic segment is 3 mm. in width, and the fourth free segment meas- 

 ures 4 mm. The length of the body is 5 mm. 



The head is produced in the middle anteriorly in a rounded lobe. 

 The sides of the head are also expanded in rounded lobes. Four knob- 

 like bodies are situated in a transverse series on the dorsal surface of the 

 head, the two central ones being largest; the lateral knobs are placed 

 one on each lateral lobe. The antennae are rudimentary, inconspicu-
