Squilla interrupta differs from the var. perpensa in regard to characters 3, 4 and 5 
(supra). ‘The anterior margin of the ophthalmic somite is usually definitely emarginate, 
never pointed. ‘The lateral processes of the sixth and seventh thoracic somites gener- 
ally bear a close resemblance to those of S. ovatoria var. perpensa, and the same number 
of spines on the abdominal somites and of marginal denticles on the telson are found. 
The outer margin of the dactylus of the raptorial claw is more strongly sinuous than 
in either of the preceding forms, but hardly so much so asin S. nepa. 
The colour of spirit specimens does not appear to be characteristic. 
This is one of the commonest species of Squi//la in Indian waters. Except that 
in three examples there are exceedingly feeble indications of a third tubercle on the 
dorsal aspect of the raptorial carpus (on one side only), the one hundred and twenty- 
two specimens examined are absolutely constant in exhibiting the characters noted 
above.
