No. 26.] ARTHROSTRACA OF CONNECTICUT. 93 



armed with a transverse row of small spines. Second gnathopods 

 scarcely longer than the first and of similar structure, except that 

 propodus is more expanded distally. Pereiopods moderately 

 slender and edged with fascicles of small spines; posterior three 

 pairs successively increasing in length and with basal joint 

 rounded, oval in form with posterior margin smooth. 



Last pair of uropods projecting beyond the others; rami more 

 than twice as long as peduncle and edged with small spinules and 

 setae. Telson reaching well beyond the peduncle of last uropods, 

 oblong oval in form, cleft extending beyond the middle and 

 gradually widening toward apex, terminal lobes obtusely pointed. 

 The species is nearly colorless, with scattered purplish spots and 

 the antennae with a few transverse purplish bars. 



Length ii mm. 



Distribution : Arctic Ocean, Norway, Halifax, Bay of Fundy
