apex, the defining angle of palm rounded and somewhat produced, 
palm transverse, finger and unguis tapering evenly. 
Second gnathopod in g also as in Della Valle’s figure of that of M. 
palmata but far more setose along palm and hind margin and on inner 
surface, finger stout, apex subacute and resting in a small pit; in 2 
not so large as in g, palm a little oblique, with a small defining 
tooth, finely crenulate, finger not closing on to inner surface, apically 
acute. 
First and second peraeopods slender, 2nd joint longest, 4th a trifle 
longer than either 5th or 6th, which latter are subequal, inner margin 
of 5th with 5 spinules, of 6th with 6 pairs of spinules, finger and unguis 
short and stout. 
Third to fifth peraeopods much stouter than Ist and 2nd peraeopods, 
2nd joint expanded, oval, hind margin straight with very faint serra- 
tions, postero-inferior angles rounded, reaching to middle of 3rd joint, 
Ath joint longer than 5th, 6th longer than 4th, moderately spinose, 3rd 
peraeopod shorter than 4th or 5th. 
First and second uropods, peduncle with spine at apex, rami sub- 
equal. 
Third uropod long, outer ramus spinose, with a distinct though very 
small second joint, inner ramus ovate, apically acute, inner margin 
with 8 spines. 
Length: g 18 mm. (to end of 3rd uropod), 2 10 mm. 
Colour: Greyish, each segment with one or two transverse bands of 
purplish grey, peduncles of antennae purplish, peraeopods ringed with 
the same colour.

For the present inaequistylis may be kept separate from palmata on 
account of the shape of the 2nd gnathopods in ¢, but there is no 
doubt that eventually it must be merged into the latter. The teeth on 
the pleon of the South African specimens agree exactly with Stebbing’s 
description of palmata.
