Pseudorostral lobes meeting for a short space in front of the minute 

 acute eyelobe, obliquely truncate: antero-lateral tooth well marked in § only, 

 in both sexes about level with pseudorostral apices. Carapace quite smooth, 

 almost globose in Q , less wide and deep in d . Pedigerous segment 2 well 

 developed, segments 3 — 5 narrowing abruptly. Pleon long and especially 

 in 5 very slender, telsonic segment distally widened, little shorter than the 

 b^^ segment, which in d is distally narrowed. Eye wanting. Antenna 1 with 

 very long sensory filaments on the flagellum and another group in the d at 

 apex of the peduncle. Antenna 2 of 9 2-jointed. with 2 plumose setae, the 

 flagellum of d not reaching end of the body. Mandible with numerous 

 spines in spine-row. Maxilla 1 with single tilament at apex of palp. Maxilliped 

 1 with several branchial sacs in straight series. Maxilliped 2, 2"*^ joint large, 

 distally denticulate. Maxilliped 3, 2"^ joint very large, strongly bent, produced 

 beyond the 4*^'. Peraeopod 1, 2"^ joint not longer than rest of limb, very 

 broad except at narrowly tapering distal part, of the others the 6^^ joint is the 

 longest. Peraeopod 2 longer than any succeeding pair. Pleopods of d with 

 interlocking process on lateral margin of endopod. Peduncle of uropods 

 about half in 9 and two-thirds in d the length of the subequal rami, endopod 

 in d fringed with dense row of ciliated spinules. Colour pure white. L. 9 

 8 mm, d 7 mm.

Pseudorostral lobes meeting only in a point in front of the acute eyelobe, 

 apically blunt; antero-lateral tooth not quite level with the apices. Carapace 

 almost globose, but with a slightly angled transverse carina behind the frontal 

 area; pedigerous segments 2 and 3 almost continuing the curves of the carapace 

 in dorsal view, segments 4 and 5 abruptly narrowed. Telsonic segment scarcely 

 shorter than the preceding segment. Eyelobe longer than broad with narrow- 

 apex. Eye wanting. Appendages in near agreement with C. Lonyiraudata, 

 but maxilliped 2 has the 2""^ joint less robust, not distally denticulate, maxilli- 

 ped 3 has the 2"*^ joint not produced to end of the 4*'^ Peduncle of uropods 

 a little over half the length of the exopod which is slightly longer than the 

 endopod. Colour white, pellucid. L. 9 about 12 mm.

Pseudorostrum prominent, acute, lobes contiguous well in advance of the 

 eyelobe; antero-lateral corners sharply produced. Carapace smooth, some- 

 what compressed with median carina becoming fainter to the rear. Pedi- 

 gerous segment 1 marked by faint suture. Pleon segments subcylindrical, 

 with lateral articular processes well marked; telsonic segment not much 

 longer than broad, shorter than the 5*'> segment. Eye pigmented, corneal 

 lenses indistinct. Peduncle of uropods more than twice as long as the sub- 

 equal rami, endopod rather broad, its apex not acute. L. 9 subadult 3 mm.
