one light irregular patch on the 2nd peraeon segment and another on 
the 5th. In other specimens the ground-colour is whitish, becoming 
yellowish dorsally, each peraeon segment (with its side-plate) and each 
pleon segment with a broad dark brownish-black transverse band. 
Eyes dark brownish-black. The antennae and posterior limbs of the 
same colour as the ground-colour, the gnathopods pale. 
It reaches a length of 13 mm. in the ¢ and 12 mm. in the ?.

(of both sexes) are frequently more strongly developed than in Chilton’s 
figures,
