trally ; exopodite small, articulating slightly away from the inner 
margin, endopodite stout, setose, terminating in three stout whip- 
like setae, which exhibit a series of spiral markings. Telson (fig. 
II), posterior margin slightly broader than the length, sides faintly 
curved, expanded anteriorly, slightly raised in the median line. 
Length 9g mm. Colour (in alcohol) brown with light broken median 
line and yellowish mottling laterally 
Habitat.—Parambikulam, 1700—3200 {ft., Cochin State, 16— 
24-ix-1914. No. *3s* (FP. H. Gravely). 
Type.—In the collection of the Indian Museum. 
Cubaris lobatus exhibits a number of features not found in the 
majority of known species of the genus, thus the lateral lobes of 
the cephalon are well developed, the antennulae and antennae are 
longer than usual, and the maxillipedes differ markedly in detail. 
Cubaris albolateralis, un. sp. 
(Pl. xviii, figs. I—12). 
Body oblong oval, strongly convex, smooth, with a small 
lateral indentation on each side of all of the mesosomatic segments. 
Cephalon (figs. 1 and 2) small, with posterior margin raised, lateral 
lobes feebly developed, median lobe absent, dorsal surface with 
raised lateral lines; epistoma dorsally sloping backwardly, other- 
wise almost vertical. Eyes dorsal. Antennulae (fig. 3) 3-jointed, 
proximal joint attenuated at its base, distal joint with number of 
lateral setae on the inner border. Antennae (fig. 4) short and 
stout, 2nd to 5th joints deeply grooved on their outer sides; 
flagellum 2-jointed, distal joint three times the length of the proxi- 
mal one, terminally there is a short style. First maxillae (fig. 5), 
outer lobe terminates in four stout curved spines and six smaller 
ones, inner lobe rounded terminally with two long curved setose 
spines. Second maxillae (fig. 6) thin and plate-like, terminating 
distally in an inner setaceous lobe and an outer tooth-like plate. 
Segments of the mesosome strongly convex, each has laterally a 
small indentation (fig. 7), lateral plates of 2nd to 4th segments 
slightly excavate, remainder truncate or almost so, posterior angles 
only slightly produced backwards. Segments 1 and 2 with notch 
and groove on their inner margins for reception of succeeding 
segments (fig. 8). Maxillipedes (fig. 9), outer lobe terminates in a 
multispinous process and four inner fine pointed spines, the inner 
lobe has a tooth-shaped spine on its outer and inner border and 
two longer pointed spines. Uropoda (figs. Io and rr) not extend- 
ing beyond the telson, basal plate narrow posteriorly, terminally 
blade-like, thickened and slightly convex dorso-latetally, antero- 
dorsal surface expanded, ventrally the outer border shows a flat- 
tened rim and blade-like posterior margin; exopodite small with 
terminal style, situated on the inner lateral margin of the basal 
plate, which is obliquely flattened, endopodite large, with two long 
whip-like setae terminally, setose elsewhere, in section triangular.
