Pseudorostral lobes very short, broadly truncate. Carapace smooth, dorsal line 

 a bold gradual curve, lateral margin inarched, exposing bases of the legs. Pedigerous 

 segment 5 with ventral pair of spines and dorsal pair of spine-like points. Eye present. 

 Uropods very elongate, peduncle much longer than the rami, endopod than the exopod. 

 L. (5 4 mm. 9 unknown.

Rather like C. australis (nr. 1). Pseudorostral lobes shortly produced, meeting 

 in fi-ont of the prominent eye slightly upturned, apically subacute vertically truncate, 

 front margin concave below, with serration of the corner continued a short space along 

 the lower margin. Carapace somewhat compressed, dorsal line carinate throughout and 

 denticulate with procurved teeth in series dwindling to the rear, numerous irregular 

 tubercles on back and sides. Pedigerous segments 1 — 3 similarly armed with tubercles 

 or spines, 4tli and 5th with back smooth but sides armed. Pleon rather shorter than 

 preceding part of body, segments 1 — 5 with upper front angle produced into a large 

 rough tubercle. Telsonic segment of equal length and breadth. Eye having 4 rather 

 widely separated prominent lenses. Uropods a little shorter than last 2 pleon segments 

 combined, the peduncle as long as the 5th pleon segment, with dwindling serration, 

 starting a little below base of medial margin; endopod two-thirds length of peduncle, 

 exopod a little shorter. L., 9 with oostegites rather large, 4*5 mm.

Telsou wanting. No distinct eye. First antenna with accessory fla- 

 gellum very small. Mandible with narrow molar. Second maxilla normal. 

 First maxilliped with seventh joint small, unexpanded. Second maxilliped 

 with strong teeth projecting from concave margin of the terminal joint. Exo- 

 pods on first four pairs of peraeopods of male, only on first two of female. 

 No pleopods in either sex. Endopod of uropods simple.
