The first, second, and third free thoracic segments are about equal 

 in length, the following three being longer than the first three, and 

 subequal. The first and second segments have a small epimeral lobe 

 on the antero-lateral margin. The third segment has a small lobe 

 about the center of the lateral margin. The lobes of the three follow- 

 ing segments are situated post-laterally. 



The abdomen is very short; all the segments together not equaling 

 in length the last two thoracic segments. The first five segments have 

 the margins produced at the sides, with deep lateral incisions between 

 the segments. 



The terminal segment is triangulate posteriorly with the apex acute. 

 The uropoda are quite half the length of the body, the inner branch 

 consisting of about twenty-five joints, the outer and smaller branch 

 consisting of six joints. There are but four pairs of pleopoda. 



The first pair of legs in the female are much more slender than 

 those of the male. In tlie male there is a deep excavation on the dis- 

 tal margin of the i)rt)podus near the articulation of the dactylus, while 

 in the female this excavation is comparatively small. In the male 

 there is a spine within this excavation and one on the dactylus, both 

 situated at the articulation of the dact} lus and the propodus. Exopods 

 are present on both pairs of gnathopods. All the other legs are very 

 spinulose. 



A few specimens (types) were collected by Prof. A. E. Verrill and 

 party in 1898, at Castle Harbor, Bermudas, and one specimen was 

 collected by Dr. G. Brown Goode at the Bermudas in 1876-77. 



Type in Peabody Museum, Yale University. Cat. No. 3222. 



Named in honor of the late Dr. G. Brown Goode. 



This species has a close resemblance to Pm'apseudes latifrons 

 (Griibe)," but differs in the following characters: in P. goodei the first 

 pair of gnathopods are more robust; the propodus has a deep excava- 

 tion near the articulation of the dactylus, within which is a large spine. 

 There is also a spine on the dactylus. 



The rostrum is constricted at the base in P. goodei^ while in P. lati- 

 frons the line is unbroken from the apex of the rostrum to the lateral 

 margin of the head. 



The secondary appendage of the flagellum of the first antennas is 

 composed of four joints in P. go(xlei while in P. lat'ifroiu this append- 

 age is composed of seven joints. The flagellum of the second pair of 

 antenna' consists of five joints in P. goodei^ while in Grube's species it 

 consists of eight joints.
