Or 
First gnathopod, 6th joint } length of 5th, both joimts linear, 
densely setose but without’ special armature. 
Second gnathopod similar, but longer and more slender. 
First peraeopod, 4th joint linear, not expanded or produced, 6th 
twice length of 5th and not quite half 4th, finger longer than 5th and 
6th together. 
Second peraeopod similar, but 4th joint slightly expanded (elongate- 
ovate), not produced, strongly setose. 
Third peraeopod, hind margin of 2nd joint with a strong lobe-like 
expansion, anterior apex of 4th and 5th each with one long spine-seta, 
posterior apex of 5th with 2 long unequal spines, anterior margin of 
5th with regularly spaced setae, posterior margin with 4 short stout 
spines, 5th a little longer than 3rd and 4th together, 6th shorter than 
5th but longer than 4th. 
Fourth peraeopod, posterior margin of 2nd joint evenly curved, 5th 
as in 3rd peraeopod, but anterior margin with 6 large and several 
smaller spines, anterior apex with 3 spines, posterior apex with 3 long 
and 2 short spines, 6th as in 3rd peraeopod. 
Fifth peraeopod, 2nd joint evenly expanding distally, distal margin 
nearly transversely truncate, posterior apical angle rounded, reaching 
to end of 3rd, which is twice length of 4th, 4th not expanded, but 
anterior apex shortly produced, 5th subequal to 4th, anterior apex 
very shortly produced, 6th nearly equal to 8rd and 4th together, oval, 
twice as long as broad, with 2 short spines on anterior apex, 7th equal 
in length to width of 6th, ovate, tapering rather rapidly to a fine point. 
First uropod, peduncle and rami subequal, upper margin of peduncle 
spose. 
Second uropod stouter, peduncle longer than rami, upper margin 
with 3 pairs of spines, apex with a group of 3 spines, outer ramus a 
little shorter than inner, inner margin with 4 spines and a long spine 
near the apex, inner ramus with both margins spinose. 
Third uropods, peduncle with 1 spine on middle of inner margin, 
raini subequal, lanceolate, outer with both margins setose, the setae 
on inner margin springing from rather deep inlets, inner ramus 
broader, inner margin with small spinules and a tuft of setae on apex. 
Length: 12 mm.
