First maxilla with palp strongly enlarged distally, not tapering as in 
Stebbing’s figure of I’. kerqueleni.

plumose setae. 
Maxilliped with outer plate equal to palp, the distal half of its 
inner margin with 7 spinules, the basal half bare.

Specimens from St. James show the following peculiarities :—Seven

have well-marked teeth; eyes variable in size; telson reaching to 
middle of rami of 3rd uropod, apices acute but frequently stout and 
appearing almost unguiform, 2-4 spines on lateral margins ; side-plate 
4 sometimes produced in a rounded lobe, never acute: palp of Ist 
maxilla slightly wider distally than proximally, Ist joint very obscure ; 
inner margin of inner plate of 2nd maxilla well fringed with plumose 
setae; Inner margin of outer plate of maxilliped with 8-11 spines ; 
gnathopods and peraeopods as in the two Saldanha Bay specimens 
(supra) ; rami of Ist and 2nd uropods unarmed, outer ramus of 2nd 
uropod half length of inner ramus; rami of 8rd uropod subequal, 
3-4 spines on outer margin of outer ramus.
