80 B. W. Kiinkel, 



deep notch near prehensile angle and provided with numerous setae, 

 apex of hand with fascicle of long setae ; linger rather large, of 

 usual form with concave margin provided with numerous cilia. 



Second gnathopods much smaller than first, with rhomboidal 

 epimeron about as long as high ; second joint moderate in width, 

 fairly long, anterior margin curved, posterior margin rather strongly 

 convex ; third and fourth joints as in first gnathopods but third 

 rather more slender ; wrist triangular, rather large, longer and broader 

 than hand, provided with very short setae on anterior margin and 

 with several fascicles of setae on posterior margin ; hand subrect- 

 angular, provided with setae on anterior and posterior margins, palm 

 moderate, with long prehensile spine and fascicle of setae ; finger 

 very large with concave margin serrated. 



In female, first gnathopods with second joint much more slender 

 than in male ; third and fourth joints provided with many more 

 setae which are also longer than in male ; wrist longer than in male, 

 and hand more slender, being subrectangular, with ]3alm somewhat 

 oblique and sinuous, provided with prehensile spine and setae of 

 various lengths, posterior margin with many long setae and anterior 

 submargin with several fascicles of slender setae ; finger slender, 

 with concave margin serrated. 



Second gnathopods smaller than first, with second joint more 

 slender and wrist broader than in male ; hand subrectangular, not 

 unlike that of male but setae rather longer. 



E])imera moderately low, l^eing longer than high in each case, 

 diminishing slightl}' in height posteriorly, those of fourth and fifth 

 pereiopods being not more than half as high as long and suboval 

 in form ; fourth not emarginate posteriorly ; third, fourth and fifth 

 pereiopods with second joints normally expanded ; last pereiopods 

 longest, with fourth, fifth and sixth joints especially long and slender ; 

 first and second pereiopods with spinning glands. 



Uropods, 3 pairs, biramous ; first pair longest with peduncle some- 

 what longer than rami which are equal in length and provided with 

 stout spines ; second pair extending posteriori}^ as far as first ; ter- 

 minal pair very short, not extending as far as preceding, rami 

 styliform. 



Telson slightly broader than long, with distal margin slightly 

 concave, postero-lateral angle provided with a spine and several 

 longer setae. 



Length 5.5 mm. 



This species has been previously reported from Naples, the coast 

 of Scandinavia, Great Britain, and Port Jackson, Australia.
