﻿MARINE ASELLOTE ISOPODS — MENZIES 



137 



Remarks. — In several significant respects the description given of 

 this species by Harriet Richardson in her monograph ( 1905, pp, 456- 

 457) is lacking or incorrect. The maxilliped has two coupling hooks ; 

 none were figured. The second and following pcraeopods have tri- 

 unguiculate dactyls, not biunguiculate as figured. The uropods do 

 indeed slightly exceed half the abdomen length as is shown in the 

 figures given by Miss Richardson and are "not longer than half 

 the length of the terminal segment of the body" ( Richardson, op. cit.) . 



This subspecies is identical in a number of important features with 

 /. kincaidi derjugini Gurjanova. Of particular importance is the 

 almost absolute similarity between the male first pleopods of the two 

 subspecies. The subspecies differ from each other primarily only
