Gnathopods unequal in structure; first pair distinctly sub- 

 chelate with ischium laminarly expanded. Second pair slender 

 with dense setae along iron{ edge; carpus large; propodus short 

 and tapering without a distinct palm. First two pereiopods 

 glandular and with propodus unusually slender and elongated.

First antennas longer than second pair but not so stout, last 

 joint of peduncle short, second joint longer than the first; prin- 

 cipal flagellum slender, composed of twenty or more segments,

 considerably anteriorly; carpus rectangular and as long as pro- 

 podus, with dense setae on posterior margin; propodus slightly 

 broader distally than proximally, palm transverse, posterior 

 margin with dense setae; dactyl short and curved; carpus bent 

 inward at nearly right angles to the proximal joints. Second 

 gnathopods with basal joint slightly rounded in front and fringed 

 with very long plumose spines; carpus longer than propodus 

 and somewhat broader, provided with very thickly set setae on 

 hind margin ; propodus slightly tapering in form, with short palm 

 and with hind margin densely covered with long setae. First and
