shorter and broader spines with a tridentate terminal portion set 

 in a spinous bifurcation (d). 



Cubaris marmoratus^ n. sp. 

 (PI. 1, figs. 1-8). 



Body oblong oval, convex, smooth. Cephalon (figs, i and 2) 

 small, anterior margin well defined, lateral lobes small, median 

 lobe absent ; epistoma dorsally sloping backwards, laterally con- 

 cave. Eyes prominent, situated dorso-laterally. Antennae (fig. 3) 

 small, slender and sparsely setaceous, 2nd to 5th joints grooved 

 on their outer sides, 3rd joint elongated; flagellum 2-jointed, the 

 distal joint being the longer and terminating in a long style. Seg- 

 ments of the mesosome convex, lateral plates of 2nd to 4th seg- 

 ments excavate, remainder truncate or nearly so, posterior angles 

 slightly produced backwards. Segments i and 2 with notch and 

 groove on their inner margins for reception of succeeding seg- 

 ments (figs. 4 and 5). Maxillipedes (fig. 6) small, lobes elongated, 

 outer one terminating in a multispinous process with two small 

 spines at its base and two longer ones on the inner margin, inner 

 lobe has a single, comparatively large spine. Uropoda (fig. 7) not 

 extending beyond the telson, basal plate narrow posteriorly, 

 thickened and strongly raised, convex dorso-laterally, antero- 

 dorsal surface expanded, ventral side almost flat ; exopodite fairly 

 large, truncate terminally with short style, articulating about the 

 middle of the basal plate in deep concavity, endopodite twice the 

 length of the exopodite, setaceous, terminally with two long 

 whip-like setae , in section triangular. Telson (fig. 8) longer than 

 breadth of the posterior margin, which is very slightly curved, as 

 also the sides, expanded anteriorly, convex and smooth. Length 

 6"5 mm. Colour (in alcohol) dark grey with yellowish mottling. 



Habitat. — Kobo, Abor country, 400 ft. Under bark. No. 

 8084A/10 (S. W. Kemp). 



Type. — In the collection of the Indian Museum. 



This species is characterised by the small and narrow lobes of 

 the maxillipedes and by the form of the uropoda. In these latter 

 the exopodites articulate in a deep groove in the middle of the 

 dorsal face of the basal plate and extend inwards to the inner 

 margin.
