BODOTHIA .\USTU.\LIS, 11. Sp. 



Plate LI.H. 



This species, like the preceding, showed no visual elements and 

 had a yielding integument which permitted the flattening out of the 

 carapace, thus making visible a pair of lateral ridges on the under 

 side with a scalloped edge. The outer edge of the extended carapace 

 is fringed beneath with a series of little raised processes. The 

 antero-lateral angle is well marked. The last three pedigerous 

 segments and first two of the pleon are separated from one another 

 and their neighbours by deep depressions. The first antenme have 

 the third joint shorter than the second. The second maxillipeds 

 have the second joint widest distally instead of in the proximal half. 

 The first peraopods have the sixth joint not longer than the seventh, 

 and the two combined not so long as the fifth joint. In the second 

 perseopods the third joint makes no appearance. The rami of the 

 uropods are two-thirds the length of the peduncle, the exopod being 

 inconsiderably longer than the endopod, of which the second joint is 

 a little over a third of the first. 



Length of female specimen 3"25 mm. Male unknown.

The telson is distinct, but small and unfurnished with spines ; only 

 the first two pairs of the pera^opods are furnished with exopods ; the 

 seventh joint in the two following pairs ends in a curved spine ; the 

 pleon carries five pairs of pleopods; the inner ramus of the uropods 

 is 1-jointed. 



The characters are all taken from the male, the other sex being as 

 yet unknown.

As the family depends at present on one sex of a single species, it 

 is, perhaps, inexpedient to attempt a selection of generic characters^
