Color. — The only statement in regard to the color of this species 

 was made by Esterly, who said that it is " whitish in formalin but 

 without pigment." 



Female. — Forehead with a crest ; posterior corners of fifth segment 

 produced into short and rather blunt spines; urosome 4-segmented; 

 genital segment symmetrical and protruding ventrally ; caudal rami 

 nearly twice as wide as long, with dense tufts of fine hairs on their 

 inner margins; exopod of first leg 2-segmented, the 2 proximal seg- 

 ments fused ; first basipod of fourth 

 legs without spines on the inner 

 margin. Total length, 5-5.3 mm. 



Male. — Forehead with a crest; 

 posterior corners of fifth segment 

 smoothly rounded; exopod of first 

 leg 3-segmented; fifth legs bira- 

 mose, exopods 3-segmented, endo- 

 pods 1-segmented; right endopod 

 club-shaped, not reaching the distal 

 margin of the first segment of the 

 exopod; left endopod reaching be- 

 yond the distal margin of the first 

 segment of the exopod, curved and 

 tapered to a sharp point. Total 

 length, 4-4.3 mm. 



Rerriarks. — Rathbun's specimens 

 were mixed with another species 

 and probably escaped notice; this is unfortunate since it leaves the 

 color of the species still unknown.
