CAPKELLIDAE OF WESTERN NORTH ATLANTIC 91 



maxilliped ^\-ith 2 apical setae, 2 setae distal yet slightly proximal to 

 apical setae, and 2 proximal setae; inner lobe almost as large as outer 

 with 1 large spine and several indistinct sjiines, anterodistal corner of 

 medial margin ^^-ith 3 large spines. 



Propodus of gnathopod 1 triangular, approximately as wide at base 

 as long, with 3 proximal grasping spines. Propodus of gnathopod 2 

 broad at midlength with 3 grasping spines at midlength. 



Gills on pereonites 2-4, gill on pereonite 2 smaller than those on 

 3 and 4. 



Pereopods 3 and 4, 6-segmented, propodus smooth excei)t for pair 

 of small spines in distal notch, dactylus short and wide at base. 



Abdomen with 3 pairs of appendages, posterior 2 pairs biarticulate, 

 anterior pair uniarticulate with single seta at tip. 



Distribution. — Type-locality: St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, at a 

 depth of 18-27 m. 



Remarks. — The above description is based on the young male 

 holotype and only specimen of this species which is deposited in the 

 Copenhagen Aluseum. The mouthparts and abdomen agree with those 

 of P. marina, and there can be little doubt that this species l)elongs 

 to the genus Phiisica. For differences between this species and P. 

 marina see the discussion of the latter species.
