The whole animal is covered with a close velvet j- tomentum, excejjting the 

 ridges and tubercles on carapace and abdomen that are naked. 



Orbital spine curved upward and forward, hardly reaching beyond the middle of the 

 eye, branchiostegal spine a little longer, reaching as far forward as the eye, directed 

 slightly outward and almost horizontally forward, while in Glyph, siiaria this spine is 

 more strongly turned downward (confer W. Faxon, The Stalk-eyed Crustacea, Cambridge 1895^ 

 PI. XXXIX, fig. I a). 



Anterior moiety of dorsal crest divided into 6 roundish tubercles, that are distinctly 

 separated from one another; they are low, not prominent and appear in a lateral view 

 sometimes subacute, but often also blunt and obtuse; they are of somewhat unequal size, the 

 posterior but one is often a little larger than the others and the posterior the smallest ; often 

 the tubercles of the penultimate pair are a little farther distant from one another than the others. 

 The posterior part of the dorsal crest is formed by 3, rarely 4, similar low and rounded 

 tubercles, of which the p' or anterior is usually distinctly larger than the rest. The dorsal crests 

 of each part run jiarallel, those of the anterior part farther distant from one another than those 

 behind the cervical groove. Between the two crests the surface bears no granules. The anterior 

 moiety of the subdorsal crest is formed by 5 roundish or slightly transverse tubercles, 

 placed in an arched line, the convexity of which is turned outward; the anterior or i*', which 

 perhaps .should more rightly be considered as a third rostral tooth, is conical, in the largest 

 female subacute, in the rest blunt and is a little more prominent than the others which are 

 low, not prominent, usually obtuse and blunt, rarely subacute in a lateral view. The i*' conical 

 tubercle is as far distant from the posterior rostral spine as the latter from the anterior and,. 

 as in other species, the i*' conical tooth is separated by a longer interval from the 2"'' than 

 the others from one another; the 3"^ tubercle, which is transverse, broader than long, is larger 

 than the 2°'^, 4''' and 5*, while the 5''^ is the smallest. At the inner side of the 2^^ tubercle 

 and close to it one observes a smaller tubercle and in the largest specimen a still smaller 

 tubercle occurs just outside the 1^' of the dorsal row, and these two tubercles are placed 

 obliquely along the lateral parts of the rostro-gastric groove, which is rather deep. The posterior 

 moiety of the subdorsal ridge is divided into 5 or 6 tubercles, that, excepting the last, are 

 longer than broad, the 2"'' is the longest and the largest, the 5"' or posterior more roundish 

 and the smallest of all; these tubercles are also low, not prominent and blunt. Two or three 

 smaller tubercles occur near the cervical groove between the anterior tubercle of the posterior 

 moiety of the subdorsal ridge and that of the dorsal crest and a few smaller granules exist more 

 posteriorly. Hepatic area somewhat swollen, the oval swelling separated by shallow depressions 

 from the surrounding spines and with one or two more or less distinct, small granules nearly 

 in the middle. The hepatic groove that separates the hepatic area from the rostrum, the gastric 

 and the branchial region, is rather deep. Posterior moiety of 3"' or dorso-lateral crest straight, 

 entire, with rounded, obtuse, anterior extremity. In front of this e.xtrcmity though more inward 

 a subacute tubercle occurs on the upper border of the hepatic groove. The two teeth or spines 

 into which the anterior moiety of the 4''' carina is divided, are both sharp and acute; the 

 anterior which falls far short of the margin between the orbital and the branchiostegal spine^
