than the inner spine. Inner antenne thick, each with two flagella, 
of which one is very short. Outer antenne with the basal scale 
longer than the joints of the peduncle, the flagellum very long. 
External maxillipeds very large, from the base nearly as long as the 
animal, first joint the longest, third jomt more than twice as long as 
the second, compressed, blunted at the end. Anterior legs robust, 
with well developed chelw ; second pair very slender, chelate, with

Alope palpalis, White, Proc. Zool. Soc. p. 124, (1847) ; Ann. Mag. 
Nat. Hist. (ser. 2) 1, p. 225, (1848) ; Miers, Zool. Erebus and Terror, 
Crust. p. 4, pl. iv, fig. 1, (1874). 
Beak four-toothed above, entire below, about twice as long as the 
spine on each side. Terminal segment of the tail with a longitudinal 
median groove above, and with two pairs of small spines at its ex-

New Zealand (Coll. Brit. Mus.). Found also upon the Australian 
Coast. 
White’s typical specimen has the carapace abnormally wide, and the 
beak broken off at the extremity, which occasioned some errors in 
his description of the genus.
