spine and three directed outwards, still more internally there are 
three fine spines; the inner palp has a single long marginal spine 
and two blunt tooth-like ones. Uropoda (fig. 8) not extending 
beyond the telson, basal plate narrow posteriorly, thickened and 
slightly convex dorso-laterally, antero-dorsal surface expanded 
obliquely ; exopodite extending to the end of the basal plate. 
terminally truncate with short style, endopodite large, with two 
long whip-like setae terminally and numerous long setae elsewhere. 
Telson (fig. 9) slightly longer than the breadth of the posterior 
margin, which is almost straight, sides faintly curved. Length 
10°5 X 55. Colour (in alcohol) tawny-yellow. 
Habitat.—Caves near Cherrapunji, Assam, ca. 4000 ft., 3I-x-

Type.—In the collection of the Indian Museum. 
The eyes in this species are present in varying degrees of 
complexity. Sometimes they are represented by two or three 
pigmented facets with others in which there is no pigment, in other 
cases the facets are imperfect, the eye being represented by irregu- 
lar-shaped pigment spots. 
Cubaris lobatus, n. sp. 
(Pl. xvii, figs. I—II). 
Body oblong oval, strongly convex, anterior margin detlected 
backwards. Cephalon (figs. 1 and 2) small, lateral lobes well 
developed, median lobe absent; epistoma sunken laterally with 
raised medium portion. Eyes large, situated dorso-laterally. 
Antennulae (fig. 3) longer than usual, 3-jointed, the terminal joint 
has a number of lateral setae and the 2nd joint a short spine on 
the inner side. Antennae (fig. 4) rather longer than usual, joints 
2—5 grooved on their outer sides; flageilum 2-jointed, distal joint 
nearly three times as long as the proximal one, terminally there 
is a style. First maxillae (fig. 5), outer lobe terminates in four 
stout incurved spines and six smaller ones, inner lobe terminally 
rounded, with two setose spines. Second maxillae (fig. 6) thin 
and plate-like, outer lobe tooth-like, inner lobe terminating in a 
dense mass of fine setae. Segments of the mesosome strongly 
convex, lateral plates of 2nd to 5th segments excavate, remainder 
truncate, posterior angles very faintly developed. Segments r and 
2 with notch and groove on their lower inner margins for reception 
of succeeding segments (fig 7). Maxillipedes (fig. 8), outer lobe 
terminating in a multispinous process, external to this is a small 
curved spine and one large one and four short ones internally, on 
the ventral side a very large spine arises from the base of the lobe, 
the inner lobe has two stout curved tooth-like spines and a single 
fine one; arising from the basal segment are two long stout spines. 
Uropoda (figs. 9 and 10) not extending beyond the telson, basal 
plate narrow posteriorly, thickened, convex dorso-laterally, 
antero-dorsal surface expanded, oblique, with raised margin ven-
