Cjmodoce ruetzleri 221 



Pleopod 5, exopod of two articles, distal article with apex and internal mar- 

 gin covered with fine teeth, anterior surface with long distally toothed boss; 

 proximal article with two small toothed bosses at internodistal angle. 6: 

 Maxillipedal palp articles 2-4 bearing setigerous lobes. Penial rami elongate, 

 separate. Pleon usually more tuberculate than in 9 . Uropodal exopod lamel- 

 lar, shorter than endopod. 9: Mouthparts metamorphosed. Broodpouch 

 formed by four pairs of oostegites arising from pereonites 1—4, overlapping in 

 midline. Brood housed in five pairs of internal pouches.

 Figure 99A,B 



DIAGNOSIS 9 7.5 mm. 9: Body dorsally strongly vaulted, unornamented. 

 Frontal lamina distally broadly rounded, lateral shoulders rounded. 

 Mouthparts not metamorphosed. Pleotelson anteriorly strongly inflated with 

 barest indication of two submedian swellings; posterior margin trilobed, with 

 median lobe strong, narrowly rounded, outer lobes much smaller and ventral 

 to median lobe. Uropodal endopod distally obliquely truncate; exopod dis- 

 tally acute. 



RECORDS Cabanas, Cuba. 



REMARKS This species is known only from the nonovigerous female 

 holotype. Loyola e Silva (1960) placed the species in Cymodoce, based on a 

 female specimen from Brazil. As the mouthparts are not metamorphosed, 

 this does not agree with the present concept of Cymodoce, but with neither 

 ovigerous females nor males available, the correct generic placement cannot 

 be determined.

DIAGNOSIS S 5.0 mm, 9 4.2 mm. 6: Integument with numerous small 

 tubercles, becoming densely setose posteriorly. Pleonite 4, posterior margin 

 broadly bilobed. Pleotelson bearing pair of strong conical tubercles with 

 acute tips, each tubercle flanked by low rounded tubercle; apex trilobed, 

 outer lobes triangular, acute, sharp spine at base of incision, median lobe 

 apically blunt. Uropodal exopod apically acute, oval in cross section, endo- 

 pod and sympod fused, somewhat flattened, apex triangular with strong 

 tooth. 9 : Pleotelson with two conical apically acute tubercles, apex barely 

 notched, with short rounded lobe slightly offset from posterior margin. Both
