L. processifer and L. intermedins differ only by the first coxa. Thus, 

 some of the specimens identified as young male L. processifer may 

 indeed be L. aequimanus, although the first coxae should be different. 

 Distribution: Fiji and Gilbert Islands; Eniwetok and Bikini Atolls, 

 Marshall Islands. 



Lembos bryopsis, new species 



Figure 27 



Diagnosis of male: Eyes rather small, removed from the edges of 

 the lateral lobes; coxa 1 rounded at anterior lower corner; gnathopod 



1 with article 5 one-fourth as long as article 6, the latter very elongated, 

 with hindedge fully excavated, forming a false transverse palm by the 

 projection of a large tooth at the distal end, proximal part of hindedge 

 bearing a small triangular lobe, article 7 overlapping the false palm 

 by more than haK its length, bearing an inner proximal bump; article 



2 of gnathopod 2 strongly inflated, article 3 bearing a sharp, slender 

 anterior lobe, article 4 bearing a distally projecting acute posterior

Alouthparts similar to those of L. websteri in Sars (1895, pi. 194).

 of telson quite erect but flattened in the drawing; peduncles of both
