of inner plate scarcely concave, outer plate very much broader, ovate, 
broadest before the middle, thence tapering to a rounded apex with 
3-4 spinules, 6-7 spinules on inner distal margin and many smaller 
ones on outer margin. 
Second maxilla, apices of lobes strongly setose with 9 strong spines 
on outer plate and 11 on inner, arranged irregularly. 
Maxilliped as figured for L. aestiva, but the apices of the lobes of 
inner plate blunter. 
First and second gnathopods as in LD. aestiva. 
First and second peraeopods 18 mm, long, 2nd joint longest, 5 mm., 
4th and 5th each 4 mm., 6th 4°5 mm. 
Third peraeopod 20 mm. long, 2nd joint 7mm., 4th 5°5 mm., 5th 
4mm., 6th 3°5 mm. : 
Fourth peraeopod, 22°5 mm. long, 2nd joint 6°5 mm., 4th 5 mm.,. 
5th 4 mm., 6th 7 mm. 
Fifth peraeopod, 11 mm. long, 2nd joint 4 mm., 4th and 5th each 
2mm., 6th 3 mm. 
The first gnathopod very feebly spinulose, the 2nd and all the 
peraeopods neither spinulose nor setose. 
Branchial lamella of 2nd gnathopod and Ist peraeopod very small, 
1 mm. long; that of remaining peraeopods 4-5 mm. long, oval, non- 
setose. 
Uropods all extending as far as one another, the peduncle Ist, 2nd 
and 3rd being respectively 5, 4 and 3 mm. long, the rami of all about 
the same length, narrow-lanceolate, inner ramus of 3rd the broadest. 
Length : Ca. 27 mm. (from end of rostrum to end of telson). 
Colour: In spirit, transparent white, the internal lining of the 
peraeon purplish-brown.
