median row of about 7 granular spinules on its outer surface. 

 The dactylus is of about the same length as the carpus and 

 propodus combined, and is without spinules on its surface. The 

 last three joints are all clothed with scattered stiff hairs. 



The remaining legs have the characters usual with the genus, 

 the fourth pair being monodactyle and the fifth with minute 

 chelse. The upper margins of both are stiffly fringed with 

 hairs, whilst the posterior margins are more sparingly setose. 

 The last pair are normally carried folded back and not extended 

 laterally as shown in the figure. 



The basal joints of the chelse are closely approximate at their 

 anterior angle, but the sternum is visible between them poste- 

 riorly. The distance between the bases of the succeeding three 

 pairs increases rapidly, giving to the sternum a much more widely 

 trigonous appearance than is usual in the group. The bases of 

 all the legs are clothed with a fringe of long hairs. 



The bases of the external maxillipedes are closely approximate, 

 but do not quite touch. 



The abdomen is entirely uncalcified except in its terminal 

 segments. The boundaries of the other segments are obscurely 

 delimited. 



The first pair of abdominal appendages in the male are short 

 and stout, somewhat swollen at their apices, bilobed, and setose. 

 The second pair are long, slender, and sharply geniculate. Their 

 apices are enlarged and flattened, their superior margin being 

 fringed with stiff hairs. 



The appendages of the third, fourth and fifth segments are 

 uniramous, laminar, and fringed with long setse. 



The calcified terminal segments of the pleou (fig. 3a) have the 

 lateral appendages very unequal. 



Colour of the chelipedes, anterior part of the carapace, and the 

 second and third legs salmon-pink shading into cream in the less 

 exposed parts. 



Only one female was taken, and in it the abdomen is unfortu- 

 nately damaged and cannot consequently be described.
