The ui-opods have about thirty spinules or denticles on each of 

 three edges of the peduncle, which is twice as long as the endopod. 

 The latter has six good-sized spines along its serrate inner margin, 

 some submarginal spinules, and a very long apical spine. The 

 exopod, about four-fifths as long as the endopod, has a fairly long 

 apical spine, but is otherwise slightly armed. 



The length of the single specimen, a male, is about 2-5 mm., thus 

 being, although so small, considerably larger than any of the three 

 species of the genus previously described. The specific name is 

 given out of respect to Dr. Caiman, who instituted the genus.

This being at present the only genus, will have the characters of 

 the family. In addition to the new species P. tridentatus , it con- 

 tains P. armatus, Bonnier, 1896, with P. echinatus, Bonnier, of the 

 same date, by Caiman held to be a synonym of the preceding 

 species; P. honnieri, Caiman, 1906, and P. compressus, Zimmer, 

 1907, briefly described without illustrative figures.

This genus is specially remarkable for the form of the last joint 



in the second maxillipeds. In the forms described by Bonnier as 



P. armatus and P. echinatus, which are considered by Caiman to be 



one and the same species, this joint has in addition to its terminal
