The second antennal endopod is still simple in this stage but the number of terminal spines on the 

 telson is reduced to three. Twelve with four spines and one with two spines were also found. 



The carapace, frontal plate and eyes remain unaltered. 



The flagella of the first antenna are still unsegmented and the second antenna remains natatory and 

 unsegmented.

Fig. io. Nyctiphanes capensis. a, fifth furcilia, cephalothorax in dorsal view; b, second antenna; c, telson; d, sixth furcilia, 



peduncle of first antenna; e, second antenna;/, juvenile telson. 



The first four cormopods have their full complement of segments; the first is feebly kneed, the 

 second to the fourth powerfully so. The fifth cormopod is unaltered and the remainder are rudimentary. 



The telson still carries three pairs of postero-lateral spines and three terminal spines. 



Fifth furcilia. Thirteen specimens examined (Fig. loa-c). Length range 4-5-4-9 mm.; average 

 length 4-7 mm. 



The number of terminal spines on the telson remains three, although two specimens were 

 encountered with five terminal spines on the telson.
