part of the sixth joint, the finger short, curved, pectinate, 
almost hidden in a bush of spine-like sete. They are decidedly 
shorter than the third and fourth pairs, not as in A. sanguinea 
“very decidedly longer.” The epipod on the third pair as in 
the second. In the fourth pair there is no epipod, but the 
process with long biserrate sete is present, and in connexion 
with it a small plate with small upturned process. 
The sete in many parts show rich orange and red tints. 
Original colour reported as red. 
From the considerable curvature of the specimen the length 
is not easy to measure exactly. It may be taken as between 
80 and 90 mm.

Bate observes that the original account of the genus given 
by A. Milne-Edwards requires some modification, inasmuch 
as the brevity of the rostrum does not apply to all species, 
and the excess of length imputed to the first trunk-legs as 
compared with the second probably applies to none of them. 
Ortmann places the genus in his sub-family Notostominae 
along with Ephyrina, Smith, and Hymenodora, Sars, distin- 
guishing this sub-family from its two companions, as having 
the cephalothorax compressed only in the dorsal part, so that 
a sharp lofty median carina is formed, and as having the 
trunk-legs not strikingly elongate.
