98 ME. T. SCOTT ON ENTOMOSTEACA 



both the two joints and the terminal claws appear to be otherwise destitute of spines or setas. 

 Outer branches of first pair of swimming-feet 2-jointed, fully half the length of the first 

 joint of the inner branches, the joints subequal ; the length of the first joint of the 

 inner branch is equal to nearly four times its breadth ; the terminal claw is stout, and 

 fully two-tliirds the length of the first joint and nearly twice and a half the length of 

 the second (fig. 34). The inner branches of the fourth pair, which are scarcely equal in 

 length to the first joint of the outer branches, are composed of two nearly equal joints 

 — the first being the smaller of the two and possessing a moderately long seta on its inner 

 edge; the last joint is furnished with two coarsely plumose terminal setae and a similar 

 seta on the inner and outer margin ; the joints of the 3-jointed outer branches are subequal 

 in length, but the middle one is the shortest of the three (fig. 35). The second joint of the 

 fifth pair, which is considera1)ly smaller than the basal joint, is broader at the distal than 

 the proximal end, and furnished with six setae round the exteriorly oblique apex ; the 

 basal joint is somewhat truncate at the apex and provided with three plain apical setse 

 and two coarsely plumose setae on the lower portion of the inner margin (fig. 36). Caudal 

 stylets about equal in length to the last abdominal segment and comparatively wide apart. 

 Each stylet is furnished with one long and stout and a few small setae ; the length of the 

 principal seta is equal to about once and a half the combined length of the stylet and 

 last abdominal segment, and has the extremity curved outwards (fig. 34).

 surface tow-net gathering, collected February 13th. 



This species, though numerically scarce, appears to have an extensive distribution. 

 In 'British Co]:)epoda' Professor Brady records it from Scilly Islands, also from Newry 

 and Roundstone, Ireland, and Glaus has recorded it from Nice.
