to antennal spine; similarly colored spot immediately posterior to 

 submarginal orbital stripe and two others dorsolaterally in cardiac 

 region, larger of two almost at posterior margin of carapace Avith 

 smaller one anterior to larger and on level Axath dorsal margin of 

 orbit; oblique pale stripe, with short anteriorly directed branches in 

 hepatic region, extending from large posterior spot to anterior margin 

 of carapace immediately above antennal spine; shorter similarly 

 colored stripe extending posterodorsally between antennal and 

 hepatic spines, ending at base of latter; branchial region slightly 

 darker than dorsal and anterolateral portions of carapace. Tergum 

 of first abdominal somite A\dth reddish-brown mid-dorsal spot spanning 

 posterior half of tergum with narrow similarly colored band extending 

 ventrally from midlength of spot to base of pleuron, area anterior 

 to band tannish cream. Second abdominal tergum with narrow dark 

 bands anteriorly and posteriorly, anterior band continuing posteriorly 

 at base of pleuron to join posterior band, anterior band with dorso- 

 median gap, and posterior one with anterolateral notch, narrow 

 cream-colored band immediately anterior to posterior dark one 

 extending from just below level of notch across tergum to corre- 

 sponding level on other side. Third abdominal tergum mth very 

 prominent U-shaped cream-colored bar extending across posterior 

 portion of segment between bases of pleura; bar delimited by reddish- 

 brown border circumscribing it. Fourth and fifth abdominal terga 

 with narrow transverse band along posterior margin joining dark 

 spots at articular knobs at bases of pleura. Pleuron of third abdominal 

 somite darker than other pinkish-tan pleura and same color extending 

 along tergopleural junctions of fourth and fifth somites. Telson and 

 uropods mostly pinkish tan; both rami of uropod with dark sub- 

 median longitudinal stripe, and inner ramus with transverse band 

 distaUy. 



Antennules with reddish-brown stripe on lateral surface of basal 

 segment, and distal two segments entirely reddish brown; antennal 

 scale with lateral reddish-broAvn stripe. First pereiopod with red spot 

 at base of dactyl, otherwise pinkish. Second pereiopod mostly pinkish 

 translucent vnth tubercles bro\vn basally and pale distally; carpus 

 with darker distal band; setal tuft on palm buff; naked portion of 

 palm pink -with narrow black band extending across area at base of 

 dactyl, continuing along opposable margin of immovable finger and 

 crossing finger at end of proximal fourth; second broader black band 

 at base of distal thu-d; distalmost portion of finger pink fading to 

 cream distally and with corneous tip; color of dactyl replica of that 

 of immovable finger except lacking black areas along basal opposable 

 surface. Third through fifth pereiopods pinkish with red to brown 

 bands; one or two on ischium, two on merus, one on carpus, and
