 Ist joint of the antennular peduncle ; the lateral margins of the 

 rostrum that is once and a half as long as broad at its base, are 

 armed each with 6 or 7, upstanding, subacute teeth. Lateral margins 

 of the rostrum contiuued on to the gastric region, curved and

 carinate in the middle line anteriorly and bidentate; between the 

 median carina and the lateral ones a submedian carina with two 

 teeth. Anterior border of the carapace unarmed, Cervical groove deep. 



Second abdominal somite twice as long as the Ist, 2nd — 6th 

 subequal, telson twice as long as the Gth somite, one fourth longer 

 than broad. Caudal swimmerets as long as the telson ; exopodite
