Harpiniopsis profundis J. L. Barnard 



Harviniopsis profundis J. L, Barnard, lOGOb, p. 330, pi. 36; 1966a, p. 86. 



Specimens from 7358 and 7229 have the tooth of pleonal epimeron 

 3 slightly longer and more upturned than shown in the type-figures. 

 The tooth is similar to that shown by Barnard (1960b, pi. 61:, fig. N) 

 for H. sanpedroensis {=H. excavata Chevreux). Otherwise the 

 specimens correspond to Barnard's figures in the shortness of the outer 

 ramus of uropod 2 and in the shape of pereopod 5. 



A specimen from 7231 has a slightly sinuous ventral margin on the 

 third pleonal epimeron and one spine on the inner ramus of uropod 1. 

 Another specimen from 7231 is similar to that already mentioned but 

 the posterior teeth of pereopod 5 are larger than in the variety of 11. 

 profundh described by Barnard (1966a) and shorter and broader than 

 in typical H. profundis. Juveniles of //. profundis lack spines on the 

 inner rami of uropod 1, have small teeth on article 2 of pereopod 

 5 and a straight ventral margin of pleonal epimeron 3.

Figure 66 



Diagnosis. — Eyes absent; head elongated (as in Phoxocephalus 

 kergueleni (Stebbing), 1888), antenna 1 with anterodorsal process on 

 article 1 (as in P. kergueleni) ; article 3 of mandibular palp slender, 

 lateral margins parallel, apex narrow (maxilla 1 like that of Plwxo- 

 cephalus 7i07nilis J. L. Barnard (1960b), maxillipeds like those of 

 P. homilis, inner plates broad, with two short spines (in contrast to 

 Metaphoxus frequens J. L. Barnard, 1960bj which has long spines and
