The legs are longish, compressed, and are either tomentose or have the term- 

 inal joints phimose. 



The abdomen in both sexes consists of seven distinct segments : the second 

 and third segments in the male have the lateral angles produced or lobate and 

 occupy the whole width of the sternum. 



Carcinoplax longipes (Wood-Mason). 



Nectopanoipe longipes, Wood-Mason, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. March 1891, p. 262 : lUuatrations of the Zoology of 

 the R. I. M. S. Investigator, Crnstacea, pi. xiv. fig. 7. 



Carapace subquadrilateral, strongly declivous in front of the level of the 

 lateral-epibranchial angles, smooth, slightly tomentose, the regions very faintly 

 marked. 



The front, which is not quite a third the greatest breadth of the carapace, is 

 square-cut, prominent beyond the orbits and folded antennules, entire, sublamin- 

 ar and obliquely deflexed. The antero-lateral borders, which are not two-thirds 

 the length of the postero-lateral, are oblique and are armed with two procurved 

 spine-like teeth — one hepatic, the other at the lateral epibranchial angle — and 

 with a third very inconspicuous blunt denticle just behind the orbital angle ; the 

 postero-lateral borders are subparallel. 



The orbits are rather shallow and afford little concealment to the eyes ; 

 their edo-e is entire. The eyestalks are short, thickish, and normally mobile : 

 the eyes are smallish, but are perfectly formed. 



The antennules are large and fold quite transversely ; their fossae are open 

 to their respective orbits. 



The basal antenna-joint is slender and very short, the next joint reaches 

 the front, the flagellum is slender and is not much less than half the length of 

 the carapace. 



The chelipeds are twice the length of the carapace and are quite smooth : 

 the arm has a denticle beyond the middle of the upper border, the inner angle of 

 the wrist has a very strong spine with sometimes an accessory spinule at its 

 base, the hands are somewhat unequal in size. 



The legs are long and slender and have the dactylus thickly plumose, and 

 the two preceding joints more scantily hairy : the third pair, which are slightly 

 the longest, are nearly two and a half times, the fourth (last) pair, which are 

 slightly the shortest, are about twice the length of the carapace. 



Colours in spirit pinkish white, fingers blackish brown : in life (recorded by 

 Dr. Anderson) pink, with dark brown fingers. 



Length of carapace 13 millim., breadth 15 millim.
