8), inner lobe palp-like with setae on the inner side and two rows 
across the dorsal face, the outer palp terminates in three multi- 
spinous processes. Basally there is a raised portion studded 
with numerous small setae. ‘Thoracic appendages (fig. 9) robust 
and fringed with numerous spines with trifid terminal portions 
(fig. ga) and smaller spines, 2nd appendages having on the apical 
border of the fifth joint two with obtuse plumose apices. 
Uropoda (fig. 10), basal plate large, extending beyond the telson; 
outer margin sub-crenate; exopodite articulating on the middle 
inner border, endopodite slightly longer than the exopodite and 
articulating at the top of the inner border of the basal plate. 
Telson (fig. 1), dorsal face strongly convex, obtusely triangular, 
almost smooth. Length 20°5x13 mm. Colour (in alcohol) horny- 
brown with the lateral plates of the Ist, 5th and 6th mesosomatic 
and the 3rd and 4th metasomatic segments yellow. 
Habitat.— Ponmudi,Travancore, September, 1893, No. 8626/10.

Type.—In tie collection of the Indian Museum. 
This interesting species is, I believe, the largest yet described 
of this genus. Unfortunately there were no antennae on either 
of the two specimens. Owing to the strong convexity of the Ist 
segment of the mesosome the dorsal surface of the head is almost 
vertically disposed. 
Cubaris solidulus, n. sp. 
(Plate x, figs. I-12 ) 
Body oblong oval, moderately convex, minutely punctate 
with lateral rugosities. Cephalon (figs. 1 and 2) small with poste- 
rior margin slightly raised, lateral lobes small, median lobe 
absent, epistome flat. Eyes small, situated dorso-laterally. 
Antennulae (fig. 3) small, 3-jointed, with numerous short setae 
on the terminal joint. Antennae (fig. 4) short, covered with fine 
setae, 2nd to 5th joints grooved on their inner side; flagellum 
2-jointed, the distal joint being a little over one and a half times 
as long as the proximal one. First maxillae (fig. 5), outer lobe 
terminates in four stout incurved spines and six smaller, almost 
straight ones; inner lobe terminally rounded, with two setose 
spines. Second maxillae (fig. 6) thin and plate-like, terminating 
distally in two setaceous lobes, the inner of which is jointed. 
Segments of the mesosome with posterior angles of 1-4 produced 
backwards, overlapping the succeeding segments, fitting into a 
slight groove in segments 2-5, segments 5-7 almost straight. 
Segments 1 and 2 notched on their lower inner margins for recep- 
tion of succeeding segments (figs. 7 and 8). Lateral plates of 
metasomatic segments 3-5 elongated. Maxillipedes (fig. 9), the 
outer palp terminates in a multispinous process on the outer side, 
with two small spines below it, internal to the large process are 
two long fine spines, the inner palp possesses five tooth-like spines 
and one larger one. Thoracic appendages (fig. 10) comparatively 
short, setaceous, with few stout spines on the inner side of the
