Stebbing (1910, Sci. Res. “ Thetis,” pt. 12, p. 588) has pointed out 
that the presence of dorsal teeth, albeit very small, the great length 
of the finger of the 5th peraeopod and the small size distinguish 
Chevreux’s species from L. aequabilis Stebbing. Stebbing and 
Chevreux have specially mentioned two identical characters which dis- 
tinguish their respective species from L. brevicornis Bruz., namely : the 
absence of a tooth at postero-inferior angle of Ist side-plate, and 
the equality of the apical lobes of the telson. There are other 
characters in common between the two species, such as the postero- 
inferior angle of the 3rd pleon segment, the posterior margins of the 
2nd joints of the 38rd—5th peraeopods. 
The present specimen corresponds with Chevreux’s description, 
although unfortunately the distal joints of the 5th peraeopods have 
been lost. 
In my opinion proxima should become a synonym of aequabilis, 
The size, especially in females, is not so important, as may be seen in
