Parapleustes species A 



Two tiny specimens less than 2.0 mm. in length from samples 

 45-C-l and 45-T-l resemble Parapleustes nautilus in general ap- 

 pearance but the hands of the gnathopods are longer, more slender 

 and the palms are somewhat more transverse. 



Material. — la jolla: Phyllospadix-coralline grid, rare.
