6. Submedian carinae are present on the last three thoracic and on all the abdo- 
minal somites', and on the sides of each between the lateral and intermediate 
carinae there is a flattened triangulate prominence. 
7. The telson bears a great resemblance to that of S. fasciata, but there are two 
or three long continuous carinae on either side of the median crest in place of 
the one found in that species. According to Hess’ figure the first and third 
of these carinae are connected proximally, while the second and third fuse 
posteriorly and are continued as a singie keel to the apex of the submedian 
tooth. On the surface of the telson outside these carinae there is an oblique 
row of short ridges or tubercles. The submedian teeth have movable tips and 
are placed close together, the margin occupied by the intermediate denticles 
being thus much longer than in S. fasciata. ‘There are three or four minute 
submedian denticles, nine or ten intermediate and one lateral. The praelateral 
denticle appears to be absent. 
The type of Squilla miles, which measures 172 mm., was found at Sydney (Hess) 
and the only other known example, a male about 90 mm. in length, is recorded from 
Victoria (Miers).

This species is allied to S. fasciata, but is easily distinguished by the absence of 
carinae on either side of the median crest of the telson. 
The whole dorsal surface is smooth and polished. On the carapace the median 
carina is wholly absent, though the small mid-dorsal pit is visible ; fine intermediate 
carinae are found on either side of the gastric groove, but the laterals and marginals 
only exist in the extreme posterior part of the carapace behind the cervical groove. 
The lateral margin is very obtusely angled in front of the rounded postero-lateral 
comers and the antero-lateral angles are produced to a sharp spine that does not reach 
the level of the rostral base. ‘The anterior margins on either side of the rostrum are 
distinctly sinuous. 
The rostrum is about one and a half times as long as broad, its lateral margins 
are sinuous—concave anteriorly—and converge to a narrow rounded apex. In its 
anterior half it may bear a very feeble longitudinal ridge, but it is never definitely 
carinate. 
The eyes are elongated. The cornea is distinctly wider than the stalk ; its breadth 
is about two-thirds the total length of the whole organ ; the corneal ad peduncular 
axes are a trifle oblique. ‘The antennular peduncle is shorter than the median length 
of the carapace. The mandibular palp is present and is three-segmented. 
The dorsal carina of the raptorial carpus terminates abruptly before penne 
' It seems that Hess, when he mentioned pee fiacteadinat carinae on the abdomen, did not reckon 
the marginal.
