The species is named in compliment to Mr. F. H. Gravely. 
The antennules here differ strikingly from any other species of 
Cubaris I know of. The mouth-parts are typical of the genus. 
The tooth on the underside of the lateral plate of the first meso- 
somatic segment is small, being just large enough to overlap 
the anterior wall of the groove on the second segment. The 
uropoda have a prominent antero-dorsal surface on the basal plate 
and the postero-dorsal portion is strongly convex, ventrally the 
plate is almost flat. Below the point of articulation of the exopo- 
dite is a small groove, and the inner border of the basal plate is 
slightly excavate. The length of the telson is greater than the 
breadth of the posterior margin. 
Cubaris expansus, n. sp. 
(Pl. xi, figs. I—1IOo). 
Body broadly oval, strongly convex, almostsmooth. Cephalon 
(figs 1 and 2) small, marginate anteriorly, lateral lobes very small, 
median lobes absent; epistoma almost vertical. Eyes situated 
dorso-laterally. Antennulae (fig. 3) small, 3-jointed, terminal joint 
pointed with eight blunt setae, proximal joint the smallest. An- 
tennae (fig. 4) short, covered with fine setae, 2nd to 4th joints 
grooved on their outer side; flagellum 2-jointed, distal joint nearly 
twice as long as the proximal one. First maxillae (fig. 5), outer 
lobe terminates in four stout incurved spines and six smaller ones ; 
inner lobe terminally rounded, with two setose spines. Segments 
of the mesosome strongly convex, lateral plates of 2nd and 3rd 
segments slightly excavate, remainder truncate, posterior angles 
very slightly produced backwards. Segments 1 and 2 with notch 
and groove on their lower inner margins for reception of succeed- 
ing segments (fig. 6). Maxillipedes (fig. 7), the outer palp termin- 
ates in a multispinous process on the outer side, with two promin- 
ent spines below it, the inner palp possesses two spines with 
wide bases, then a fine marginal spine and one short blunt tooth- 
like one on the innermost border. Uropoda (figs. 8 and 9) not 
extending beyond the telson, basal plate narrower posteriorly than 
anteriorly, posterior margin almost straight, dorso-antero-lateral sur- 
face prominent; exopodite small, articulating on the inner border 
of the basal plate, which is here raised in a boss, endopodite setace- 
ous, two and a half times the length of the exopodite, articulating 
at the top of the inner border of the basal plate. Telson (fig. Io) 
longer than the breadth at posterior margin which is almost 
straight, expanded anteriorly with slight concavity in the median 
line. Length 135 xX 65 mm. Colour (in alcohol) horny-brown 
with lighter lateral flecks on the mesosomatic segments.
