Occurrence : 



St. 1568. 11. iv. 35 (night). South-east of Durban, 1400-0 m., 1 juv. $, 5-4 mm. 



Remarks. It is with some hesitation that I refer this specimen to E. oculata, for the characters it 

 possesses are not entirely as described for the type. The lateral areas of ocelli in the eyes are larger 

 than the terminal ones, but are not so swollen as in E. glyphidophthalmica and the colourless area 

 between them and the terminal area is quite wide. The antennal scale is the same length as the 

 peduncles of the antennules and antennae, and the lateral margins of the telson are straight, but the 

 posterior margin of the telson is not narrow. The specimen is not adult and I feel that perhaps it might 

 be E. intermedia. 



Distribution. This species has been recorded on a number of occasions from the Indian Ocean 

 (Tattersall, 1911a, 1939; Illig, 1930; Coifmann, 1936). The type specimen was taken near New 

 Guinea and Tattersall (1923) recorded the species from off New Zealand.

Remarks. E. intermedia closely resembles E. oculata in its general form. It is slender and long and 

 evidently very brittle, for there is not a single undamaged specimen in the whole collection. In 

 particular the eyes break off very easily and in their absence correct identification is difficult. Nouvel 

 (1942 c, p. 9) stated that the antennal scale surpassed the antennular peduncle by the full length of its 

 apex and that the antennal peduncle was a little shorter than the antennular peduncle. His type was 

 not fully adult and I have found exactly the conditions he described in the smaller immature animals
