The resemblance of the head, lst peraeon segment and side-plates, 
and to a less extent the rest of the peraeon and pleon, to Lepechinella 
chrysotheras Stebb. is rather curious. 
TEMNOPHLIAS n. ¢. 
Lateral portions of peraeon segments not contiguous; telson entire, 
pyriform, longer than broad; antennae short; lobes of 2nd maxilla 
fused basally; palp of maxilliped 2-jointed ; Ist and 2nd gnathopods 
similar, simple ; 2nd and 8rd peraeopods chelate in 3 ; peduncle of all 
the pleopods strongly produced; all the uropods uniramous (a small 
fixed rudiment of a second ramus in Ist and 2nd), in 3rd uropod 
peduncle and ramus fused. 
Generic name composed of repyw, to cut, and Phlias, the original
