Male :—Coxe rather broad. Antenne slender, superior pair longer 
than half the body, base a little shorter than the flagellum, second 
joint much the longest; inferior pair a little the shorter, base much 
longer than flagellum, and also exceeding in length the base of the 
superior pair, third and fourth joints subequal. Hand of first pair 
very small, obovate, margin hirsute, finger minute, and articulated to 
the hand below the apex. Hand of second pair oblong, 
back much flattened, densely hirsute below; palm not excavate ; 
subelliptical, 
finger rather large. Legs of third and fourth pairs short; posterior 
six subequal, the fifth pair a little the smallest, sete short. (D.). 
Female :—Differs chiefly, according to Dana, in having the hand of 
the second pair of moderate size, long obovate, apex sparingly oblique; 
finger short, shutting against lateral surface of hand. Stylets of second 
pair short, posterior pair long, simple, the branch sub-cylindrical, and 
furnished with short sete. Length 44 lines. 
New Zealand, Bay of Islands (Dana). Between low and high water 
level. 
This species, which is probably erroneously described and figured, 
either as regards the exappendiculate superior antenne, or the uniramous 
posterior pair of caudal stylets, must provisionally remain designated 
by the name Paramoera.,

Body of more or less abnormal shape, seldom compressed. Head 
large. Hyes large, covering the greater part of the sides of the head. 
Antenne abnormally developed. Abdomen usually broad and 
depressed, and the last pair of abdominal appendages lamellate. Coxe 
small. Legs of very variable shape. Maxillipeds small and imper- 
fectly operculiform.

give the animal a wild, staring appearance, which is very characteristic 
of the group.
