small, median lobes absent; epistoma vertical. Eyes prominent, 
situated dorso-laterally. Antennae (fig. 3) sparsely setaceous, 2nd 
to 5th joints deeply grooved on their outer sides; flagellum 2- 
jointed, the distal joint being twice the length of the proximal one. 
First maxillae (fig. 4), outer lobe terminating in four stout incurved 
spines and five smaller ones; inner lobe terminally rounded with 
two large setose spines. Second maxillae (fig. 5) thin and plate- 
like, terminating distally in an inner setaceous lobe and an outer 
tooth-like plate with three ridges of setae. Segments of the meso- 
some convex, with posterior margins prominent, lateral plates of 
2nd to 5th segments slightly excavate, remainder truncate, poste- 
rior angles very faintly developed. Segments 1 and 2 with notch 
and groove on their inner margins for reception of succeeding seg- 
ments (fig.6). Maxillipedes (fig. 7), outer palp elongated, terminat- 
ing in a multispinous process with three longer spines on the outer 
side and three on the inner side, inner palp also elongated, With 
three marginal spines and one blunt tooth-like spine on the inner- 
most border. Uropoda (figs. 8 and g) not extending beyond the 
telson, basal plate narrow posteriorly, thickened, convex dorso- 
laterally, antero-dorsal surface expanded, concave, strongly margin- 
ate; exopodite small and bluntly pointed, endopodite setaceous, 
also bluntly pointed. Telson (fig. 10) longer than broad at the 
posterior margin which is very slightly curved, sides faintly 
incurved, expanded anteriorly. Length 5°5 mm. Colour (in al- 
cohol) variable, bluish-black to a horny-brown.

Type.—In the collection of the Indian Museum. 
This is a very distinct species and the type of an interesting 
group. The head is longer than in most species. The antennae 
are characterized by the unusually deep grooves on the inner sides 
of joints 2,3 and 4. The second maxillae are quite unlike those 
of any other described member of the genus. The tooth on the 
underside of the lateral plate of the first mesosomatic segment is 
small, but stands out some little distance, overlapping the groove 
of the second segment. The uropoda have a deep antero-dorsal 
surface and small exopodite. 
Cubaris brunneocaudatus, n. sp. 
(Pl. xiv, figs. I—1r0). 
Body oblong oval, strongly convex. Cephalon (figs. 1 and 2) 
small with posterior margin slightly raised, lateral lobes small, 
median lobe absent; epistoma vertical. Eyes fairly large, situ- 
ated dorso-laterally. Antennulae (fig. 3) small, 3-jointed, with 
few stout setae on the terminal joint. Antennae (fig. 4) deeply 
grooved on the outer side of joints 3—5; flagellum 2-jointed, distal 
joint two and a half times as long as the proximal one. First 
maxillae (fig.5), outer lobe terminates in four stout incurved spines
