and carpus much expanded in last two perseopods of male. 

 Terminal uropods project beyond others, short broad rami, 

 inner narrower than outer and little shorter, with small spine 

 near base of inner margin. Outer ramus of terminal uropods 

 with three fascicles of stout spines on outer edge, and tips of 

 both rami truncated, armed with numerous spines. Telson with 

 oblong lobes, notched at tip, where one or two spines. Body 

 olive-brown to grayish, marked with numerous small rounded 

 lighter colored spots and series of larger light spots along mid- 

 dorsal line. Color not confined to pigment cells, but scattered 

 in form of minute pigment granules in cells below integument. 

 In examples with much gray pignient legs barred with dark 

 bands, in others these bands scarcely visible. Extreme tips of 

 basal joints of both antennae light colored. Eyes black. Length 

 lo mm. (Holmes.) 



Remarks. — ^This species was originally described from New

Family PODOCERID^. 



Body more or less slender, smooth, with coxal plates of 

 moderate size, or very small, fourth pair of same shape as pre- 

 ceding ones, fifth pair with anterior lobe much deeper than 

 posterior. Cephalon without any rostrum, frontal part more 

 or less produced, postantennal corners well marked. Eyes gen- 

 erally distinctly developed. Antennae elongated, superior ones 

 wnth accessory appendage either very small or wanting, in- 

 ferior ones generally stronger than superior, especially in male. 

 Oral parts normal. Gnathopoda more or less unequal, posterior 

 ones larger, and sometimes enormously developed in male. 

 Perseopoda not very slender, three posterior pairs generally 

 strongly reflexed, dactylus unguiform, and in antepenultimate 

 pair as rule inverted. Last pair of uropoda rather stong, bi-
