The legs are not elongate, successively smaller, all more or 
less flattened, and (except the last pair) three-sided, the cheli- 
peds with two sharp edges, the three following pairs with three 
sharp edges to several of the joints. The fingers of the chelipeds 
are broad, closing tightly together, with the teeth few and broad 
not acute. 
In the fourth legs the small sixth joint has a spine at the apex, 
with which the small, curved finger can antagonise. The fifth 
legs alone are sub-dorsal. They are very slight, the fifth and 
sixth joints much narrower than the fourth, the finger minute. 
The small plates, representing the uropods, attached to the 
sixth pleon segment are not concealed, except in so far as they 
are covered by a mass of clubbed seta. They are somewhat 
pod-shaped, and not very rigidly fixed. 
The carapace measures 21 mm. in length, by a breadth of 
26 mm. 
Locality—Cape Point, N.E. by E., 36 miles. Depth, 
650-700 fms. 
The specific name refers to the broad flattened surfaces 
exhibited by the limb joints. 
The single female specimen, having become dry through 
the breakage of a bottle in transit, a complete examination 
was not feasible. Nevertheless, the points of agreement 
with Dynomene filholi in regard to the adornment and the 
character of the front, the orbits, and antennae, encourage 
me to believe that the genus is correctly assigned.

To the genera of this family mentioned in the second part 
of this report, Fulton and Grant in 1902 add the genus Platy- 
dromia, with flattened, sub-pentagonal carapace, bilobed 
front, last pair of legs as long as the chelipeds, and the sternal 
sulci of the female ending apically without meeting between
