18 B. fV. Kiinkel, 



margin forming an oval lobe which is provided with cilia posteriorly 

 and spines distally, wrist triangular, shorter than fourth joint, with a 

 few long spines on distal apical angle ; hand subrectangular rather 

 narrow, with anterior and posterior margins parallel and with mo- 

 derate palm somewhat oblique, serrated and provided a with few 

 spines, prehensile angle bearing a few stout spines ; finger of usual 

 form and moderate size. 



Second gnathopods with epimeron higher than long and with 

 ventral margin rounded ; second joint moderately long and slightly 

 curved ; third joint cylindrical, about twice as long as broad ; fourth 

 joint longer than broad, with posterior margin convex and provided 

 with about 6 rounded processes and a few short setae, wrist ex- 

 ceedingly small, triangular; hand large, suboval, anterior margin 

 convex, straight posterior margin, which serves as palm, provided 

 with 2 strong processes near articulation of finger, palm provided 

 with many slender setae ; finger long and very slender and rather 

 strongly curved, with 2 slight processes near proximal end of con- 

 cave margin. 



First pereiopods with moderate epimeron which is subrectangular 

 and rather higher than long with ventral margin very finely serrate ; 

 fourth joint rather broad with posterior margin straight and anterior 

 margin convex and projecting distally to form rather strong triangular 

 process ; fifth joint about as long as fourth, and more slender ; sixth 

 joint rather longer than preceding with straight posterior margin 

 provided with rather stout spines ; finger clawlike. Second pereio- 

 pods with very large triangular epimeron, greatly expanded ventrally 

 and with ventral margin gently rounded. Third pereiopods with 

 second and fourth joints expanded ; third, fourth, and fifth pereiopods 

 with very small epimera; all pereiopods closely resembling each 

 other in distal segments. 



Uropods, 3 pairs ; first and second pairs biramous with rami styli- 

 form ; third pair projecting slightly beyond the other two, with single 

 2-jointed ramus, not as long as peduncle, the distal one of which 

 bears a blunt projection apically and is longer than the proximal. 



Telson triangular, rather prominent, entire, with 3 lateral spines 

 on each side. 



Length 5 mm. The species was represented by a male and a 

 female specimen. 



The female is much smaller than the male and differs from it 

 principally in that the hand of the second gnathopod is broader 

 and the palm is shorter and devoid of the 2 toothlike processes 

 near the finger.
