Carapace, the rostrum included, little more than one third of 

 . the length of the abdomen. Rostrum spiniform, as long as the 

 Ist joint of the antennular peduncle. First abdominal somite strongly 

 narrowed in the middle, not coalesced with the 2nd, as takes 

 place in Call. rotundicaudata Stebb., with which this species is 

 related. Second and sixth abdominal somites of equal length, some- 

 what longer than the other ones. Telson much smaller and shorter 

 than 6th somite, little longer than broad, with small median 

 tooth on the rounded posterior margin. Caudal swimmerets consider- 

 ably longer than the telson, especially the oblong exopodite ; 

 additional row of spines on the exopodite rudimentary. 



Merus and ischium of external maxillipedes moderately expanded. 



Larger chelipede of Ist pair having the lower margin of the 

 ischiopodite armed with 7 spines. Merus oval, with one tiny spi- 

 nule in the middle of the lower margin. Carpus short, half as 

 long as the palm, but equally wide. Fingers as long as the palm. 

 Fingers of the smaller chelipede slender, 2'/., — 3 times as long 

 as the palm. 



Propodite of third legs 8-times as long as broad, with parallel, 

 nearly straight raargins, without any tracé of a backward pro- 

 duced lobe. 



Length 13,5 M.
