A species of tlie Comatidarum group, probably uew, closely 

 related to Syn. Stimpsonii de Man, The male from Station 213 

 is regarded as the type, because the specimens from the Stations 91 

 and 305 do not fully agree with it. This male presents the fol- 

 lowing characters. Rostrum hardly longer than wide at its base, 

 reaching to the distal fourth or fifth of the visible part of Ist 

 antenuular article; leugth of supraorbital spines one third that 

 of the rostrum. 



Telson 4,5-times longer than the width of posterior margin, 

 greatest width 3,4-times that of posterior margin. Spinules of upper 

 surface small, 0,22 m.m. long and inserted rather far backward 

 (in Syn. Amhoinae Zehntner these spinules are larger and situated 

 more foreward). Endopodite of caudal fan oue and a half as long 

 as broad, wider than that of Syn. Amhoinae. 



Visible part of Ist antennular article twice as long as the 2nd, 

 the latter one third longer than the 3rd, stylocerite just reaching 

 beyond Ist joint. Inferior spine of basicerite a little longer than 

 the supraorbital spines, lateral spine of scaphocerite not or hardly 

 curved inward and extending by one third ot its length beyond 

 the scale. 



Upper margin of meropodite of larger chelipede terminating ia 

 a small, acute tooth, meropodite 3-times longer than wide; chela 

 4-times as long as high, fingers a little more than half as long 

 as the palm, dactylus less strongly curved and less high than that 

 of Syn. Stimpsonii^ its cuttiug-edge with a small, acute tooth not 

 far from the tip. First segment of carpus of 2nd legs one sixth 

 longer than the sum of the four following. 



Meropodite of 3rd legs 6,2-times longer thau wide, with a
