several long setae ; finger moderately long and curved, with one 

 seta near middle of outer convex margin and another near proximal 

 end; finely serrate on inner margin. 



Second gnathopods with epimeron rounded ventrally, with a single 

 seta anteriorl}^ ; second joint rather stout, armed with a very few 

 short setae on anterior and posterior margins ; third joint not as 

 long as broad ; fourth joint oblong, more slender than third and 

 about 3 times as long as wide ; wrist very large and strong, sub- 

 triangular in shape, considerably longer than broad ; posterior margin 

 prolonged to form a large process extending past base of hand in the 

 form of 2 moderately sharp toothlike projections, of which the outer 

 one is the longer, posterior margin l^earing 4 fascicles of short setae 

 toward distal end ; hand subrectangular and smaller in all dimensions 

 than wrist, ver}' markedly narrower, anterior margin convex, pos- 

 terior margin about ^/s as long as anterior and parallel to it, palm 

 longer than posterior margin and very oblique, passing into posterior 

 margin by a slightly projecting obtuse prehensile angle, palm pro- 

 vided with setae of various lengths ; finger long, curved, stout, 

 nearly equalling the hand in length so that apex fits into notch 

 between process of wrist and hand, provided with short setae which 

 are longer and more crowded together around apex. 



In female, second gnathopods simply subchelate ; wrist provided 

 with long process on posterior margin which extends nearly as far 

 as proximal end of palm, process provided with setae along pos- 

 terior margin and at apex, where there are also 2 odontoid spines ; 

 hand oval with distal portion more slender, transition between pos- 

 terior margin and palm 1)}' an even curve which is provided with 

 2 or 3 prehensile spines ; finger slender, moderately long and curved, 

 armed with a few setae. 



Pereiopods with low epimera ; first, second, and third pereiopods 

 rather short and stout with moderately long and slender dact3'ls ; 

 first and second appendages with spinning glands; fourth and fifth 

 appendages rather long and slender. 



Uropods, 3 pairs ; first pair longest, with peduncle serrate on inner 

 margin and slightly longer than rami which are subequal and have 

 margins finely serrate and provided with 2 short stout spines and 

 with one long stout s]3ine and several shorter setae on apex ; second 

 pair not extending as far as others, similar to first pair; third pair 

 with stout peduncle and single ramus which is stout and projects 

 as far as first uropods, somewhat curved in form and provided 

 apically with 2 very short, stout, hooked spines. 



Telson broad 1)ut short, not extending as far as peduncle of second
