edge dentate (about 7), secondary cutting plate in both mandibles bidentate, spine-row 

 and molar well developed, palp strong, the 2nd joint itself almost as long as trunk of 

 mandible, 3rd shorter, setose. Maxilla 1, inner lobe with about eight spaced setae, 

 outer lobe with about n spines, palp well developed, extending beyond apex of outer 

 lobe, with about seven apical spinules and a few setules. Maxilla 2, inner lobe a little 

 broader than outer, with apical setae, and an oblique row of setae extending on to inner 

 margin proximally. Maxilliped, inner plate with three stout apical spines, outer plate 

 with eight stout, clavate spines on inner margin, the distal ones becoming more 

 elongate and transforming gradually into the spine-setae on distal margin, palp 

 4-jointed. 



Fig- 85. Phylluropus capensis, n.g., n.sp. a. Peraeopod 3. b. Uropod 1, with upper margin of inner ramus 

 further enlarged, c. Uropod 3 of left side. d. Mutilated uropod 3 of right side. e. Mutilated telson attached 

 to pleon segment 6. 



Gnathopod 1 simple, 2nd joint elongate, slender, 5th fusiform, 6th similar but 

 shorter, 4th-6th, especially 5th, with long setae, dactyl slender, half length of 6th. 

 Gnathopod 2 simple, 2nd joint elongate, slender, 5th narrow triangular, expanding to 

 the distal truncate margin, 6th abruptly narrower and a little shorter than 5th, 4th-6th 

 especially 5th with long setae, dactyl half length of 6th. 



Peraeopods 1 and 2, 2nd joint elongate, slender, longer in peraeopod 1 than in 

 peraeopod 2 (absolutely, as well as relatively to the side-plate), narrowest in the middle, 

 thence tapering distally, the anterior margin consequently strongly sinuous, 4th fusi- 

 form, considerably shorter than 2nd in peraeopod 1, a little shorter than 2nd in peraeo- 

 pod 2, with long outstanding setae, especially in peraeopod 2, 5th and 6th joints much 

 more slender, 6th shorter than 5th, dactyls slender, a little shorter than 6th. Peraeopod 

 3, 2nd joint ovately expanded, anterior margin with spines and spinules, hind margin 

 feebly serrate, postero-inferior lobe short, rounded, 4th joint long, cylindrical, slightly 

 curved, 5th much narrower, 6th subequal to 5th but narrower, dactyl slender, half
