Description. — This species, which is small, very slender and with quite small eyes, 

 has been well described and figured by Sars ; only the antennulae and the copulatory organs 

 require a supplementary treatment. The antennulae show some sexual difference. In the male 

 (fig. 3«) the first peduncular joint has no freely protruding leaflet or process, but above near 

 the end some conspicuous, erect, curved seta;, while the second joint is produced into a large, 

 thin lobe covering a not inconsiderable part of the upper surface of the third joint, the lobe 

 hiding proximally the base of the joint excepting the outer third and being almost as long as 

 broad with the outer margin directed obliquely forwards and inwards and terminally rounded. 

 In the female (fig. 3<5) the first peduncular joint has no curved setse, but the upper terminal 

 margin has a little from its inner end a very small, triangular, flat process directed somewhat 

 upwards and visible from the side, while the second joint has a basall)- rather broad, very short 

 lobe terminating in an angle. — The anal spine on the lower side of sixth abdominal segment 

 in the male simple, in the female with a smaller, spiniform tooth from the base behind the 

 large, curved main spine. 



The copulatory organs (figs. 3^ — 3 c) have the main plate and the lobes developed 

 essentially as in E. diomcdecc Ortm. The terminal process is rather short, somewhat tapering 

 with the end curved and acute, its foot is very long and the heel somewhat long and very 

 curved. The proximal process is very much longer than the terminal, very considerably curved 

 with the proximal two-fifths somewhat inflated on the outer side ; its distal part is moderately 

 broad to the end (fig. 3c/), which is very obliquely cut off, bearing a comb of about four spiniform
