Description. — Body with greatly convex surface, robust. Cara- 

 pace as viewed above ovoid, with numerous irregular transverse 

 wavy lines, which become obsolete or absent on sides and pos- 

 teriorly. Distinct transverse postfrontal and postgastric line in- 

 cised. Front with three subequal triangular lobes, as median and 

 one each side, all well separated. Lateral lobes each slightly more 

 anteriorly produced than median lobe, though otherwise similar. 

 Eyes globular, a little more bulky than very slender long stalk, 

 extend out till nearly to middle in length of third joint of an- 

 tennal peduncle. Antennules densely ciliated or with setse, 

 peduncle nearly third their entire length, and subequal multi- 

 articulate biramous flagella reach well beyond peduncle of an- 

 tennsf'.. Antennae with robust peduncle, outer basal joint quite 

 large, ends anteriorly in three sharp spines, of which median 

 much largest and slighdy pointing upward and outward. Flagel- 

 lum multiarticulate, robust, though tapering distally, densely 

 hairy on lower edge, and when distended back reaches five-sixths 

 to hind carapace edge. Buccal mass inconspicuous. Second 

 maxillipeds completely covering- buccal mass, and often conceal- 

 ing- long plumose antenn?e within, lobe at front edge triangular 

 and somewhat acute, most all edges greatly hairy. First pair 

 of legs with outer joint ovate. Second and third pairs of legs 

 with outer joint broad falcate dactyls, and these directed out- 

 wards. Fourth pair of legs smallest, with small, short semi- 

 falcate dactyls. Last pair of legs, and these articulating with 

 outer front edges of telson, broad, larger than fourth pair, and 

 outer joint consists of two subequal large ovate lobes. All legs 

 very broad basally, narrow and partly acute in outer halves, also 

 quite hairy. Telson elongate, triangular, narrow, acuminate, and
