The trunk somewhat clumsy. 
The side-processes of the trunk very long, much separated, with high, pointed, horn-shaped processes. 
The proboscis short, directed obliquely downward. 
The oculiferous tubercle very high, slender, bent backward, without ocelli. 
The caudal segment very large, erect, a little curved. 
The palps short, the four last joints short, by degrees decreasing in length. 
The ovigerous legs short; the terminal part with few, knife-shaped leaves. The claw very large, with 
few teeth. 
The ambulatory legs rather short, the second tarsal joint scarcely shorter than the first. The claw 
fine, without auxiliary claws, longer than half the length of the second tarsal joint.

The habitus figure of Caullery is so rough and so bad, his characters as well of the genus 
as the species so poor, and besides, I think, partly useless or impossible, so that one is strongly 
tempted to pay no regard to the species here made by him; as, however, on the other hand, his 
species is so characteristical, and in several essential characteristics agree with the form represented 
here, I have thought the identity so probable that I have adopted his generic and specific name. 
Already before I have stated as my opinion that it is incorrect to give the palps 6 joints in stead of 
7; as impossible I shall briefly mention another character. In his description of the species Caullery, 
1. c. p. 362, mentions some clavate bristles which are said to be found on the chelifori and the other 
limbs! His words run thus: «Les mandibules portent (comme les autres appendices) des soies formées 
d'un axe rigide légérement courbé, terminé en pointe et recouvert dans sa partie terminale d'un manchon 
verdåtre qui donne å ensemble une forme en massue». He moreover draws one of these bristles, 
not only in pl. 12, fig. 3 and 4, but also separately, more enlarged, fig. 6; but these formations are only 
common bristles with a bit of mud on the end, that is to say, pure products of art. 
Occurrence. The Ingolf-stations are: 25 and 94. The former of these stations gives it as 
taken in the Davis Strait, 63? 30' Lat. N. 547 25/ Long. W., 582 fath.; the bottom was soft mud with a 
temperature of 373; about ten specimens were taken here; the latter station is in the Denmark Strait 
towards the eastern coast of Greenland 64” 56' Lat. N. 36? 19 Long., 204 fath., sand, the bottom 
temperature 41. 
Distribution. This species was formerly only known from three specimens taken in three 
places in the Bay of Biscay on depths between 950—1700m. The bottom was in all three places 
mud (vase), to which, of course, the mentioned and drawn wonderful bristles owed their knobs.
