The eyes arc dark^ with luuncroua compouciils, ilic margin 

 turned towards the side of the head nearly straiglit, that 

 towards tlie middle of the head being angularly convex. 



The antennae are normal^ the flagclhun of the fust pair com- 

 posed of eighteen joints_, that of the second stouter and a little 

 longer, with fourteen joints; in this pair tlie filth joint of the 

 peduncle is a little longer than the fourth- 



The epistome is nuich broader than long, the apex pointed. 

 The upper lip is rather deep, with broadly rounded outer margin- 

 The mandibles have the characters usual in this genus, the 

 joints subequal. In the lirst maxillae eleven spines were counted 

 cutting edge undivided^ the palp slight, with its first and second 

 iin the outer plate, the inner having the usual four plumose setse. 

 In the plate of the maxillipeds the greatest l)rcadth is in the 

 iip]jer half. 



The first gnathopods. like all the other limbs, ha,ve a spine out- 

 standing from the lower apex of the outer margin of the third 

 joint- Uwmg to the channelling of this joint its outer apex seems 

 to lose its apical position. The fourth joint has five stout and 

 more or less plumose spines on the inner margin, the triangular 

 iifth has four and the sixth has six. 



The second gnathopods are considerably Knger than the firsts 

 and closely resemble the five pairs of perxopods, all having the 

 lif.Lli joint .^-imilar to the fiurth but .'^horter, both l^eing spinose 

 along the inner margin and on the cuter ape.x. 'fhc sixth joint 

 has spities a'ongthe inner margin. The b.lid linger is stout. The- 

 male organs on the seventh peiseon segment are elongate, taper- 



'i he pleopods have only three hooked spines on inner apex of 

 peduncle. The male appendage of the second pair is much longer 

 than the rami. In the fourth and hfth pairs the .branchial ramus 

 is strongly plicated. The covering ramus in the fifth has a trans- 

 verse suture as in the third and fourth pairs- 



The uropods are broad, somewhat hirsute, the iiKJvable outer 

 ramus having a little notch at the apex of its outer margin, which 

 is often obscured by the setulcs ; it reaches a little beyond the 

 inner ramus and the telson.
