92 STALK-EYED CRUSTACEA. 
specially prominent on each ridge. Fourth abdominal segment: armed 
with but one small median spinule. The sides of the carapace below the 
epimeral sutures are covered with spiny tubercles, and display an iridescent 
lustre. The eye has two spines projecting over the cornea from the inner 
side; the posterior of these spmes is very minute. The antenne are very 
slender, and about as long as the carapace; the first and second joints are 
provided with a prominent external spine, the third joint with three spines, 
viz. one external, one internal, and one superior. The chelipeds are absent 
in both the specimens. The ambulatory appendages are spinulose on all 
the segments except the dactyli, which are finely serrate on the hind margin. 
The legs, and more especially the sternum, are iridescent, like mother-of- 
pearl. This iridescence is seen in a less degree in several other species 
of this genus.

The whole surface is clothed with long sete, which are longest and 
densest on the chelipeds and ambulatory appendages. The rostrum is 
very broad at the base, and ends in three points, the middle of which is 
the longest; the rostrum is slightly carinate in the median line. The cara- 
pace is roughened by low setiferous ridges; the antero-lateral angles are 
obliquely truncate; a spine over the antenna, and four on the lateral mar- 
gin, the last one just behind the posterior branch of the cervical suture, the 
third one obsolescent ; hind margin unarmed. A pair of spines on the gastric 
region behind the base of the rostrum. The abdomen is devoid of spines, 
and there is no spine over the eye. The antenne are slender, shorter than 
the body ; the basal joint is provided with a long spine on the external side, 
and another on the internal side ; the second joint has an external spine, the 
third an internal one. Chelipeds: internal edge of merus five-spined, su- 
perior edge also furnished with a row of smaller spines; carpus with one 
prominent internal spine ; hand unarmed, broadest at base of fingers, cutting
