Family STEGOCEPHALIDAE 



Stebbing, 1906, p. 88. 



Schellenberg, 1929, p. 196 (key to genera). 



Genus Phippsiella, Schell. 



Schellenberg, 1925 {Mitt. Zool. Mm. Berlin, xi), p. 200; 1926 b, p. 220; 1929, p. 196. 

 Stephensen, 1925, p. 130. 

 In the key (1929) the 2nd joint of peraeopod 6 is said to be expanded in Stego- 

 cephalopsis but not in Phippsiella; this is evidently a typographical transposition. This 

 joint is expanded in Phippsiella . 



The genus comprises two northern species, and kergneleni from the southern 

 hemisphere. 



Phippsiella rostrata, n.sp. (Fig. 33). 



Occurrence: St. 158. South Georgia. 1 <?, 2 ?? (1 ovig.) 17-18 mm. 



Description. Close to similis Sars. Integument indurated, with scattered punctae. 

 Rostrum long, reaching almost to end of 

 peduncle of 1 st antenna. Faint indications 

 of ocular pigment, but no lenses. Side- 

 plate 4 received into a slight groove on 

 side-plate 5. Postero-inferior angle of 

 pleon segments 2 and 3 acutely produced, 

 that on segment 2 more so than that on 

 segment 3 ; margin above on segment 3 

 smooth. Telson cleft to half its length. „ „,.'.„ „,

Genus Andaniexis, Stebb. 

 Stebbing, 1906, p. 94. 



In view of the new species here described Stebbing's diagnosis needs a slight emenda- 

 tion as regards the 2nd gnathopod. 



Andaniexis australis, n.sp. (Fig. 34). 



Occurrence: 1. St. 87. South-east Atlantic. 4 $$ 4-4-5 mm. Types. 

 2. St. 89. South Africa. 1 ? 5 mm. 



Description. Resembling abyssi (Boeck) except in the following particulars. 

 Gnathopod 2, 6th joint not very slender, almost as wide and scarcely longer than 5th, 

 and subequal in length to the 6th joint of gnathopod 1 ; the lower margin has a very
