Mayer states that he had only a single ¢ of this form, but gives 
the number of joints in the flagellum of Ist antenna of female as 11 
and figures a portion of a 2. Probably in mentioning the specimen 
found at Cape Town Mayer intended writing “?” instead of “¢.” 
The present specimens are in agreement with his description. 
Length: 6 10mm.; 2? 6mm. 
Colour: Light brown with the anterior margins of the peraeon 
segments and a band between the eyes darker, a few dark specks on 
peraeon segments 2-5, antennae, peraeopods and branchial lamellae 
whitish, the hand of the 2nd gnathopods in ¢ with a basal and an apical 
band of orange spots, eyes dark brown; the 9 is somewhat greyer 
in colour, 2nd gnathopods whitish, marsupial lamellae on 3rd segment 
each with two red streaks.
