teeth , the distal end more or less recurvated upwards , 

 loithout teeth and with the point acuminated; the second 

 tooth situated above the eyes, the teeth gradually increas- 

 ing in size anteriorly and directed strongly forward. Under 

 margin scarcely emarginate at the base, armed with three 

 (very rarely 4 or 5) very strong teeth , the middle tooth 

 situated quite under the foremost tooth of the upper mar- 

 gin , the third therefore at a large distance from the point. 

 The formules of the teeth in our 56 specimens are: 



1,38 specimens; |,13 specimens; f,l specimen; 5,1 spe- 

 cimen; V?l specimen; y,2 specimens. 



Peduncle of the internal antennae much shorter than the 

 antennal scales , reaching to the middle of the second tooth 

 of the under margin of the rostrum. Short terminal fila- 

 ment of the upper antennae extending as far as the end 

 of the rostrum , rather thin , not serrate and the two fifths 

 basal parts of its length united with the long filament. 

 Branchiostegal spine very small , situated quite at the mar- 

 gin of the carapace ; carapace quite smooth. External 

 maxillipeds reaching a little beyond the end of the peduncle 

 of the external antennae. 



Legs of the first pair reaching to the end of the anten- 

 nal scales , carpus nearly twice as long as the hands , fin- 

 gers nearly as long as the palm , a little hairy. Legs of the 

 second pair extending nearly with the whole hand beyond 

 the antennal scales , reaching as far as the end of the 

 rostrum, stronger than those of the first pair. Carpus a 

 little shorter than the hand, but distinctly longer than 

 the palm ; fingers straight , closely situated to one another 

 and measuring nearly two thirds of the length of the 

 palm. Other legs very thin, those of the fourth pair reach- 

 ing to the end of the antennal scales, those of the fifth 

 pair not reaching quite so far. End of the terminal joint 

 armed with three small and two longer spines. 



Length of the end of the rostrum to the point of the 

 terminal joint of the abdomen 38 mm.
