Description, f?. Size: 3-54 mm.; anterior division (1-56 \ 0-99) 

 Giesbrecht's specimens measured 2"85 — 2-95 mm. 



Near the lateral margin of the last thoracic somite is found, dorsalh-, a nicmlManous fringe bearing 

 short hairs; it is not equally prominent in all specimens, but generally more so than shown in fig. 13a. The 

 abdominal somite I ~ II has, dorsalh', a characteristic process, and, on each side of tlie 

 vulva lamelli-forni processes more developed, on the right side. One of the 6 apical setae 

 of the maxillae shows the structure characteristic of Parcuchmte with several short 

 teeth and a few larger branches. The number of glandular pores in the legs scarcely 

 differs from those of E. iiorv., except by the absence of any pore at the base of Se i Re III. 

 The epistoma and the outer surface of the labrufn are in main features like 

 those of E. norv. The oral surface has the two first groups placed rather longitudinally, 

 and the three following ones fairly well separated. The area in front of the lamina labialis is, as shown 

 in fig. 13 b, rather characteristic, especially by the lateral group of hairs, which is a longitudinal series 

 in continuation of the serrula 6-deutata. 



cf. Size: 3-03 mm.; anterior division (i'35 -^ 078) == 2'i3 mm.; urosome 0-9 mm. Giesbrecht's 

 specimens measured 275 mm. 



Lateral corners are rounded and .somewhat more produced on the right than on the left side; 



on both sides is, dorsally, the usual fairly well developed tooth. The first abdominal somite has on each 



side, dorsally, a similar tooth as in K. norv. The antcnnnlac reach distinctly beyond the end of the 



cephalo-thorax; the segments 12—13 ^^'^i posteriorly, indistinctly separated, and more so on the left side. 



The Re I of pfs f has a fairly well developed Se. 



d* (St. V). Size: 2-68 mm.; anterior division (1-19-1-075) = 1-94; urosome 074 nnn. 

 The lateral corners of the thorax are regularly rounded without the mentioned hairy fringe. 

 The subapical seta of the furca is onh- a little longer than the St. 2. Pes V differs from E. norv. by a 

 more rounded Ri sin.; the outlines of the exopodites are, as realised by comparing text-figs 47 i and 

 57, somewhat different. 



Occurrence. Within the area explored by the Ingolf Exp. this species has not been taken; but, 

 as it has been gathered by the S/S Thor ^i,'^ 05 SL 90 47°47 L. N. 8°oo L. W. (viz: 23 f? (2 with egg- 

 sacs), 2 fc?, I yc? (V)), I have included it here. As the species has only been found in the Mediterranean
