Second anteniKB. Flagellum much or not much longer than the peduncle, having 

 from ten to twenty joints. 



Up2)er lip. Broader than deep. 



First maxilliJE. Palp minute. 



Maxillipeds. Second and third joints of palp broad. 



First (jnatliopods, d . Fifth joint slightly longer than sixth, widest suhapically, with 

 spinules at j)rojections of front and hind margins ; sixth oblong, a little widened at the 

 almost transverse convex palm ; the finger matches the palm. 



Second gnathopods, d . llobust, the second joint with small downward-produced lobe, 

 the third also with the front lobed, the fourth apically produced behind, the fifth produced 

 backward in a rather slender and not strongly spined lappet, the sixth large ; the palm 

 spinulose, very oblique, defined from the slightly bulging hind margin by palmar spines 

 and the small hollow which receives the apex of the strong finger 



First gnathopods, 2 ■ These are as in the male, except that the sixth joint is more 

 elongate, equal to the fifth. 



Second gnathopods, 9 . Rather larger than the first ; the second joint not produced 

 downward, the third without conspicuous lobe, the fourth as in the male, the fifth with 

 its lappet stretching along part of the straight hind margin of the sixth, the sixth 

 broader than in the first pair, slightly widening to the transverse palm, which the finger 

 matches. The branchial vesicles are large, oval, with narrow neck. The marsupial 

 plates are broad, oblong, produced at one corner, their setse short. 



First and second perceopods. Subequal, slender. 



Third perceopods. The second joint is oblong oval, the front margin carrying spines, 

 nearly straight, the hind margin nearly smooth ; the fourth joint is widened, spinose on 

 both margins. 



Fourth perceopods. Considerably longer than the third, but with the second and fourth 

 joints not quite so wide ; the branchial vesicles in both these pairs have an accessory 

 lobe. 



Fifth perceopods. These are shorter than the fourth pair, especially in the male, but 

 they have the second joint much larger and more rounded behind, widest suhapically 

 and broadly produced behind the third joint ; the fourth joint not much widened ; the 

 finger, as in the other pairs, short and curved. 



First uropods. The rami are decidedly shorter than the peduncle. 



Second uropods. The rami are a little shorter than the peduncle. 



Third uropods. The ramus is small, coniail, shorter than the stout peduncle, tipped 

 with a minute spinule. 



Telson. Broad ; the two quadrate lobes, separated by a linear fissure, are set at an 

 angle one to another, gable-like. 



Colour. For Aspldophoreia diemenensis Professor Haswell says : " surface (in the 

 spirit specimen) ornamented with marbled spots of red, brown, and white, and with 

 numerous, very minute, white dots, arranged in clusters of three or four." 



Length. For A. Gaimardii Dana gives the equivalent of 14-16 mm., Bate 18 mm.; 

 for A. austrcdis Dana gives 12-13 mm. ; for ^. diemenensis Haswell gives 20 mm. ; some
