Diagnosis. — ^^A Squilla with very small eyes, the corneal axis being 

 about three-fourths the length of the peduncular one and at right 

 angles to it, and 0.029 times the length of the body; the dactylus of 

 each raptorial cla^v deeply sinuate on its outer margin and provided on 

 its inner margiu with six teeth, including the terminal one; an ovate 

 rostrum with marginal cariniB and a small median tubercle; five carinoB 

 on the carapace, the median one bifurcated for nearly or more than half 

 its length; spines at the anterior lateral angles of the carapace extend- 

 ing farther forward than the suture between the carapace and rostrum, 

 the posterior lateral angles being evenly rounded; no ventral spines on 

 first exposed thoracic segment but instead an additional lateral process, 

 making two on each side, the anterior one being curved forward and 

 acute and the posterior one much smaller, narrow, straight, and blunt; 

 the lateral margins of the next two segments bilobcd, the two lobes on 

 the first one being of etpuil length and rounded or subacute, but the 

 posterior one broader tlian the other, while on the second one the ante- 

 i-ior lobe is very much the smaller; eight submedian carina^, on all the 

 segments of the hind body except the first exposed thoracic ; a crest and 

 a keel on the telson and symmetrical lines of pits on each side; six 

 marginal spines and eight basal carin;e and between the former two
