Amongst the coUectioti of terrestrial Isopoda in the Indian 

 Museum, which Dr. Annandale has kindly placed in my hands 

 for examination and identification, is a tube containing a number of 

 specimens of a new species of Cubans collected near Sarawak, which 

 is here described. I have much pleasure in associating with it the 

 name of Dr. Annandale. 



Cubaris annandalei, n. sp. 



Body (fig. I) oblong oval, dorsally convex with a series 

 of ridges on the mesosomatic segments ; metasome broad and 

 partly hidden by the overlapping segments of the mesosome. 

 Cephalon (fig. 2) small and flanked by the lateral plates of the 

 ist segment of the mesosome ; epistome with small median 

 triangular ridge ; lateral lobes small and indefinite, median lobe 

 absent. 'Eyes lateral and prominent. Antennulae small and 3- 

 jointed. Antennae (fig. 3) slender, covered with small setae and 

 one or two spines; last segment elongated, flagellum 2-jointed, the 

 distal joint being the larger. Man hbles (fig. 4) short and stout with 

 four blunt tooth-like surfaces and two tufts of setae, ist maxillae 

 (fig. 5): outer lobe with four large pointed spines, then five more 

 slender ones, with their apices divided into two or more divisions, 

 and one incurved pointed spine; inner lob^ small and narrow with 

 two setaceous spines distally (fig. 6). 2nd maxillae small and 

 plate-like with slight indication of a division into two lobes. The 

 segments of the mesosome are all ornamented with a series of 

 irregular ridges ; lateral plates well defined and separated from 

 one another, the ist and the 6th are broadest. Maxillipedes (fig 7) 

 large, the outer lobe terminates in a curved spine divided at its 

 point and two smaller pointed spines ; the inner lobe is well- 

 developed and provided with four small marginal spines. Thoracic 

 appendages (fig. 8) comparatively short, covered with setae and 

 well-developed spines on the inner borders of the three terminal 

 segments. Uropoda (fig. 9) largely hidden by the telson and not 

 extending beyond it ; basal plate thick and somewhat triangular, 

 exopodite small, articulating in a cavity on the inner margin and
