outer with 6 deep indents on outer margin, inner ramus with 2 such 
indents on outer margin (1 near middle, the other nearer apex) and 1 
in middle of inner margin, both margins of inner ramus and inner 
margin of outer ramus finely serrulate. 
Third uropod, rami subequal, equal to those of 2nd in length, but 
broader, ovate, more rapidly narrowed distally, 2nd joint on outer 
ramus indistinguishable, both margins of inner ramus and inner 
margin of outer ramus finely serrulate. 
Length: 16 mm. 
Colour: In spirit, pale pinkish, eyes red.

sula). 131 fathoms. 2 @¢. s.s. “Pieter Faure.” 28/3/00. 
(S.A.M. No. A130.) 
The specific name in allusion to the small number of spines on the 
palm of the Ist gnathopod, compared with the other three species of 
the genus. 
This species resembles T. nicaeense Costa in the general shape of the 
hand of Ist gnathopod, the trunk of the mandible and the rostrum ; it 
resembles 7’. raschi Hsm and Boeck in the inner plate of the maxilli- 
ped. It is, however, far more closely: allied to the other South 
African species T'. remipes Stebbing; the characters in which it agrees 
being: rostrum, trunk of mandible and palp, palp of maxilliped, first 
and second antennae, second gnathopod, 2nd joint of 8rd—5th peraeo- 
pods, telson and uropods. It is distinguished from the latter in 
having none of the joints of the peraeopods expanded except the 2nd 
on 3rd—-5th peraeopods, in the details of the uropods, as well as in the 
three characters which separate it from the two northern species, 
namely: eyes, palm of Ist gnathopod and side-plates.

Chilton (1912, Tr. Roy. Soc. Edinb. vol. 48, pt. 2, p. 463) doubts 
whether this genus should be separated from Acontiostoma. ‘The 
present species in having, apparently, no palp to the Ist maxilla and 
a quite rudimentary 4th palpal joint to the maxilliped affords further 
evidence that the two genera should be reunited.
