Third uropod, rami subequal, scarcely longer than peduncle. 
Length: $ 4mm., 2? 55 mm. 
Colour: Whitish with grey transverse speckled bands. Eyes 
black. 
Locality : Sea Point, near Cape Town. 26/2/14. (K.H.B.) 1 
5 ovigerous 2? @ and 5 immature; St. James (False Bay). 15/2/14. 
(K.H.B.) 2 ¢ 6, 13 ovigerous 9? 9. (S.A.M. Nos. A2898 and 
A2958.) 
In possessing ventral spines this species approximates to the 
Mediterranean species L. spiniventris (Della Valle), although 
perhaps this feature is present in other species but has been 
overlooked. 
The 6th joint of the Ist gnathopod in g is somewhat similar to 
that of L. kerqueleni, but the 2nd joint of 2nd gnathopod is not 
expanded as in the latter species. 
From the other Cape species DL. hirsutipes Stebb. it is easily 
distinguished by the Ist gnathopod in both sexes, the hook-like 
prominence on 2nd joint of 2nd gnathopod of ¢, and the absence 
of setae on the 2nd peraeopod of ¢.

The single specimen corresponds fairly well with Haswell’s description 
of his Microdeutopus australis (Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W. vol. 4, p. 271, 
pl. 11, fig. 5), except in two points, namely: the second gnathopod 
has the palm of the 6th joint concave, the angle which it makes with 
the inferior margin blunt, not produced, and furnished with 1 spine; 
the presence of a large forwardly curved spine on ventral surface of 
peraeon segments 3 and 4, a small one on segments 5-7, and a small 
backwardly directed tubercle on segment 1. 
Other features of the present specimen are : 
First antenna, 3rd peduncular joint + 2nd, accessory flagellum 
equal to 3rd peduncular joint and longer than Ist flagellar joint, 4- 
jointed, 1st-3rd joints increasing in size, 4th joint > 3rd. 
Mouth-parts, mandibular lobes of lower lip are acute and much
