Remarks.—This handsome species seems to be the only member of 
the group within the genus in which the propodus is intermediate 
which has a 2-jointed scape. It is further distinguished by the very 
tall pointed tubercles on the trunk and lateral processes, which give 
it a serrated appearance. 
Genus EURYCYDE Schisédte, 1857 
Chelifore 3-jointed, subchelate, scape slender. Palpi 9-jointed. 
Oviger 9- (or 10-)jointed, with terminal spine or spines. Propodus 
intermediate, without heel but with large terminal claw. The pro- 
boscis has a jointed petiole. 
This genus is closely related to Ascorhynchus but differs from that 
genus in having a jointed proboscis. All the known species have long 
spines on the eye tubercle and abdomen. It is represented in eastern 
American waters by one species, hitherto known from west Africa. 
The widely distributed Boreal-Arctic Hurycyde hispida (Krgyer) has 
not been taken south of Baffin Land; it can easily be recognized by 
the lack of spines on the eye tubercle.

This species was established for a single female found near Cape 
Verde. These specimens are evidently the male of that species. 
The lateral processes are slightly more widely separated, and there 
are six spines on the abdomen instead of seven. The spurlike proc-
