size of the second), the second is somewhat smaller than the third, the third is 

 subequal with the fifth, the fourth is about 1^ times the fi fth, and the sixth about 

 1^ times the fourth. 



Of the appendages of the three last pairs of thoracic limbs the first and second 

 are broadly oval and unequal, the former being smaller than the latter ; and the 

 third is narrowly oval and intermediate in length between the first and second. 

 The telson is armed (1) on the upper surface with a transverse row of five sharp 

 spines ; (2) on the posterior margin with the usual three pairs of spines, of which 

 the submedians are indistinguishable in form and size from the spinules between 

 them and the sublaterals, and the sublaterals are shorter than the laterals ; (3) 

 below and internal to the submedians with a pair of movable spines ; (4) between 

 the movable spines with eight spinules, exclusive of a microscopically minute one 

 in the middle line ; (5) between the submedian and sublateral with three equidis- 

 tant spinules ; (6) between the sublateral and lateral with one spinule. 



Colours in spirit : warm luteous, banded and marked with black-brown. The 

 rostrum is speckled with fuscous, with a spot or imperfect cross-band of the ground 

 colour near the anterior end. The carapace bears three cross bands, of which the 

 two anterior are indistinct and confused and are composed of fuscous mottling 

 and speckles, and the posterior is distinct and well-defined and darkest in the 

 lateral lobes. The second to the eighth free terga bear each two cross-bands, one 

 narrow and paler, pointed at both ends, and not reaching the outer margin ; and 

 one broader and darker, which not only extends to the outer margin, but is con- 

 tinued on to the bases of the thoracic limbs. The tenth free tergum bears only 

 the posterior band, and the telson a semicircular blotch, divided along the middle 

 into two parts which are separated from one another and symmetrically marked 

 by the ground colour. The basal joint of the caudal appendages is marked on the 

 upper surface with an obsolescent black blotch ; the whole of the basal joint and 

 rather less than the inner third of the terminal joint of the exopodite, and the 

 expanded portion of the endopodite are black on both sides.

Dorsal integument covered with a coarsely foveolate or reticulate sculpture, 



which on the median lobe of the carapace and on the middle third of the free 



thoracic and of the first to the fifth abdominal terga is so coarse as to obscure the 



longitudinal ridges.
