second and third segments are largc, subcqual, tliose of the 

 Iburth and fifth segments are smaller, not so deep, tlius brea- 

 king the even row of the epimerals. The last two epimerals 

 are larger and deeper, pointed backwards. The three first 

 pairs of pereiojooda are very robust, with strongly curved 

 claws. The following pairs increase in length even to tlie 

 sixth, the sevcnth pair is only a little sliorter than tlie sixth. 

 They are provided with hairs and strong spines. The pleon 

 is much narrower than the pereion, linear, w^ith large well 

 developed pleopoda. The last segment of the pleon is a 

 little longer than the prcceding, whieh are siibequal. The 

 urus is longer than the pleon, being of the same length as 

 tlie pleon and the last segment of the pereion together. 

 It forms a long sharp tongue, with smooth margins, pro- 

 vided with long plumose hairs. The uropoda are long, the 

 outer lamina is shortcr than the inner; both are lanceolate 

 with even hairy margins. 



The liead is nearly triangulär, of about the same length 

 as the first segment; the surface is very smooth, not gra- 

 nular, of the same colour as the surface of the pereion, 

 without such bands of dark colour, as exist on the head 

 of Ilarponyx^). No trace of eyes is to be seen. The 

 rostrum is small, concealing only a small part of the basal 

 joint of the upper antennae. Its point is not sharp, but 

 feebly rounded. 



21ie first pair of antennce. [Pl. I. fig. 3.] The peduncle is 

 three-jointed, the first joint being the longest. The flagellum 

 consists of six joints, the first one a little shortcr than the 

 second. Therc are no hairs or bristles on the llagcUum nor on 

 the peduncle. The basal joints of tlie pcduncles are separa- 

 ted from each other. [which is a dilfcrence between the pre- 

 sent specics and Harponyx]. 



The second pair of antennw [Pl. I. fig. o] have five-jointed 

 pcduncles, the last joint being the longest, the second tlie shor- 

 test. The fourth and fifth joints carry long hairs on the back 

 side, the thrce first ones are smooth. The flagellum contains 

 twenty one joints, whereas no othcr known Kocinela possesscs 

 more than 16 joints in the flagellum. The joints are nearly 

 subcqual in length, the last one being the shortest. They
