PARAPRONOE CLAUSI Stebbing. 
1888. Parapronoé clausi Stebbing, l.c. p. 1526, pl. 190. 
A few small differences are observable between the Australian and 
South African specimens : 
First gnathopod, 5th joint not longer than 4th, more as in P. erustu- 
lum Claus (see figure by Stebbing, l.c. pl. 198). 
Second gnathopod, the inner margin of the process of 4th joint even 
more convex than in Stebbing’s figure and more strongly dentate, the 
inner margin of the 5th joint on the contrary less convex. 
Telson in the female comparatively broader, about 1} times as long 
as basal breadth, apex reaching the apex of the inner ramus of 3rd 
uropod. In the smaller (? ¢) specimen the telson like the typical 
form. 
The mouth parts were not examined since they seemed firmly 
united into a solid mass, perhaps due in some manner to the method 
of conservation.
