last segment of tlie mesosoiiic and first two segments of the 

 pleon have a dorsal tubercle near the middle. The first four 

 side-plates are as deep as the segments. 



Head: rostrum shm'ter than the rest of the head and reaching 

 the end of the first joint of the upper antenuse, lower margin 

 almost straight. Eyes contiguous above, large, dark. Upper 

 antenn(e not quite reaching the end of the second ynnt of the 

 lower, the first joint ratiier longer and twice as wide as the 

 second, icidening distallg ; the second twice as long as the 

 third ; the first and second with fascicles of plumose setse. 

 Flagellum 10-jointed, shorter than the peduncle. Mandibular 

 palp with the second joint subequal to the third in length, 

 but more than twice as loide near its base, both joints with 

 long spine-like setas on the front margin. 



In other respects this species resembles (E. rostrata, 

 Stebbing {(E. conspicua on pis. Ix. and Ixi. Chall. Report), 

 from which it differs in the conspicuous eyes, diflfereut shape 

 of rostrum, proportions of mesosome-segments, and mandibular 

 palp. 



Length of female 30 mm.

Bodg : segments of mesosome and pleon, except the first 

 two (of which the first is twice as long as the second), armed 

 with lateral teeth increasing in length backwards, with longer 

 curved dorsal teeth, those of the last mesosome and first two 

 pleon-segments the longest. First two segments of the urus 

 with an u])right dorsal tooth ; the third segment with a lateral 

 carina ending in an upturned sharp tooth. Side-plates as in 

 E. cornigera (Fabr.) . 



Head: rostrum much longer than the rest of the head, 

 slightly decurved ; lower margin of the ocular lobe produced 

 forward in an acute tooth. Ege large, colourless in spirit. 



Upper antenncB &\\ov\.e\' i\\v^\\ the lower; first joint with a 

 subequal distal tooth on each side; second with two long 

 subequal distal teeth reaching the seventh joint of the 

 flagellum ; third about half as long as the second, with a 

 small distal tooth. Flagellum 32-jointed, slender. 



G nathopods as in E. parasitica, JNI. Sars. 



Third penvopods '. first joint rather longer than and twice 

 as wide as the third ; hind margin concave, with a rounded 

 lobe at the proximal end and a large very shar]> tooth, directed 

 backwards, at the distal ; front margin concave in tlie middle.
