I Q15. | W. E. Conuince: Indian Terrestrial Isopoda, I5I 
laterally, posterior margin almost straight. Length 16:5 mm. 
Colour (in alcohol) slaty-grey with lighter coloured lateral markings 
on the mesosome. 
Habitat.—Under stones on hill near Rambha, Ganjam District. 
No. 8690/10. (N. Annandale.) 
Type.—In the collection of the Indian Museum. 
The form of the uropoda at once serve to separate this species 
from any other known form. Considerable variation was noticed 
in the mouth parts. In alcohol it is a slaty-grey colour, but when 
dry the specimens look like large pearls. 
Cubaris granulatus, n. sp. 
(Plate xii, figs. I-11.) 
Body oblong-oval, moderately convex, finely granulated with 
few irregular rugosities on the cephalon. Cephalon (figs. 1 and 2) 
small, anterior margin slightly raised, lateral lobes small, median 
lobe absent, posterior margin distinct, irregularly rugose, epistome 
with triangular convexity, deeply sunken around base of antennae. 
Eyes moderately large, situated dorso-laterally. Antennulae small, 
3-jointed. Antennae (fig. 3) short, covered with fine setae, 2nd 
to 4th joints grooved on their inner side; flagellum 2-jointed, the 
distal joint being nearly three times as long as the proximal one. 
First maxillae (fig. 4), outer lobe terminates in four stout incurved 
spines and six smaller, almost straight ones; inner lobe terminally 
rounder, with two long setose spines. Segments of the mesosome 
with posterior angles of I-4 produced backwards, overlapping the 
succeeding segments, fitting into a slight groove in segments 2-5, 
lateral plates of segments 6 and 7 slightly expanded. Segments I 
and 2 notched on their inner margins for reception of succeeding 
segments (figs. 5 and 6). Lateral plates of metasomatic segments 
3-5 elongated. Maxillipedes (fig. 7), outer palp terminates in a 
multispinous process on the outer side and two long inner spines. 
at the base of the innermost are two very small spines; the inner 
palp has a single spine and asmall tooth-like process. Thoracic 
appendages (fig. 8) comparatively short, setaceous with dense mass 
on the inner side of the 3rd and 4th joints. Uropoda (figs. 9 and 
10) not extending beyond the telson, basal plate somewhat trian- 
gular, posterior margin almost straight, plicated on the ventral 
side; exopodite small, situated on the inner border of the basal 
plate, endopodite two-and-a-half times as long as the exopodite, 
setaceous, situated at the top of the inner border of the basal 
plate. Telson (fig. 11) slightly longer than broad posteriorly, 
expanded anteriorly, posterior margin almost straight with con- 
cavity anteriorly in the median line. Length 5°5 mm. Colour 
(in alcohol) dark olive brown. 
Habitat.—Rambha, L. Chilka, Ganjam Dist. , Madras, 22-ix-13, 
No. 8639-10. ‘‘ Probably a terrestrial species’. (N. Annandale 
and S. W. Kemp.) 
Type.—In the collection of the Indian Museum.
