palp shows three folds with two curved spines on the outer border of 
the ventral one and a longer spine on the margin of the most dorsal 
fold. Uropoda (figs. 9 and 10) not extending beyond the telson, 
basal plate narrow posteriorly, thickened and slightly convex 
dorso-laterally, antero-dorsal surface expanded, ventrally almost 
flat; exopodite small, half the length of the endopodite, terminat- 
ing bluntly, no style, endopodite bluntly pointed with whip-like 
setae. Telson (fig. 11), posterior margin almost straight and shorter 
than the length, sides curved, anterior portion expanded, and 
convex dorsally. Lengthgmm. Colour (in alcohol) blackish-brown 
with lighter irregular markings laterally and as a broken median 
line on the mesosome. :

C. chiltoni is ailied to C. brunneocaudatus, agreeing with this 
last mentioned species in the form of the mouth-parts and ina 
lesser degree the uropoda. It differs, however, in the shape of 
the cephalon, antennae, maxillipedes, uropoda, and telson, as also 
in the more depressed form of the body and in the form of the 
notch and groove on the underside of segments 1 and 2. Most 
species of Cubaris show the peduncular joints of the antennae 
grooved on the outer side, but in C. chiltoni these grooves have 
become widely expanded, so that the outer side of the joints 2—5 
are almost flat, in section exhibiting a form as shown in figure 4 
(ple-xv): 
I have much pleasure in associating with this imteresting 
species the name of Professor Charles Chilton, to whom we are 
indebted for his valuable work on the Isopoda and other Crustacea 
of New Zealand. 
Cubaris cavernosus, nu. sp. 
(Pl. xvi, figs. I—9). 
Body oblong oval, convex dorsally with faintly rugose lateral 
patches on the mesosomatic segments. Cephalon (figs. 1 and 2) 
small, lateral lobes fairly well developed, median lobe absent; 
epistoma depressed laterally and in the medio-dorsal portion. 
Byes very small, occasionally one or both imperfect. Antennules 
(fig. 3) 3-jointed, with lateral setae on the distal joint. Antennae 
(fig. 4) rather slender, joints 2—5 slightly grooved, setae small and 
fine; flagellum 2 jointed. First maxillae (fig. 5), outer lobe termin- 
ates in five stout curved spines and four smaller ones, inner lobe 
truncate terminally with two short setose spines. Segments of the 
mesosome convex, lateral plates of 2nd to 5th segments excavate, 
6th and 7th very slightly so, posterior angles of 2nd—5th segments 
only very faintly developed. Segments 1 and 2 with notch and 
groove on their inner margins for reception of succeeding segments 
(fig. 6). Maxillipedes (fig. 7), the outer palp terminates in a 
multispinous process on the outer side, at its base is a small upright
