KROYERA ALTAMARINA. N. S. 



Specific character. Eyes confluent, and placed anterior to the superior 

 antennas. Second pair of gnathopoda having the inferior angle of the carpus 

 produced anteriorly, scarcely beyond the apex of the dactylos. 



Length | inch. 



The head is anteriorly produced and depressed ; the 

 segments of the body are shorter than the three anterior 

 segments of the tail. The first two segments of the tail 

 are somewhat elevated posteriorly, giving a slightly-im- 

 bricated appearance to that portion of the back when 

 viewed laterally. The eyes are fused into a single 

 organ, as in Monoculodes. The antennae are injured in 

 the only known specimen, but the second joint of the 

 superior antennas is much more slender than the first ; 

 but in the inferior, the first three are equally stout, 

 whilst the fourth is more slender, and as long as the 

 two preceding. The first pair of legs do not diflfer from 

 those of K. arenaria. The second pair have the hand
