62 CRUSTACEA MALACOSTRACA. II. 



Distribution. According to Sars this species has been taken at Kvalo in the most northern 

 part of Norway (Lat yo 2 ^ N.) "from depths of 60100 fathoms", and at a locality "about midway be- 

 tween Beeren Eiland and Finmark", from 190 fathoms.

 I PI. VI, figs. 4a 4f). 



Female (without marsupium). Body robust, only a little more than four times as long as 

 broad (fig. 4 a). Carapace even longer than the three following segments combined, slightly longer 

 than broad (fig. 4b); the postero-lateral angles broadly rounded, the major part of the lateral margins 

 converging to near the front end, where they are rounded; the front end is scarcely half as broad as 

 the carapace somewhat from its hind margin, and the rostral process is somewhat long, acute. 



Anteunulse scarcely as long as the carapace (fig. 4b), moderately robust. First joint half as 

 long again as the two other joints combined, three and a half times as long as deep (fig. 4 c) and 

 tapering regularly and somewhat feebly; seen from above (fig.4b) two and a half times as long as broad 

 and tapering considerably. Second joint about twice as long as deep; third joint rather short, scarcely 

 half as long again as the second, its longest terminal setse distinctly longer than the two distal joints 

 combined. -- Antennae (fig. 4c) somewhat long; second and third joints considerably widened above; 

 fourth joint not quite twice as long as the penultimate; longest terminal seta even slightly longer 

 than that of the antennulse. 



Chelipeds (fig. 4 c) rather long but moderately robust. Basal joint with the proximal protuber- 

 ance large, nearly as long as deep and reaching the front end of second thoracic segment; carpus 

 long, considerably longer than the basal joint and three times as long as deep. Chela a little longer 

 than carpus, three and a half times as long as broad; anterior margin of the hand almost half as long 

 again as the movable finger; fixed finger at the base slightly broader than the movable, with a tooth 

 near the end of the incisive margin. 



Thoracic segments (fig. 4 a) increase in length and decrease a little in breadth from second to fifth, 

 decrease in length and increase perceptibly in breadth from fifth to seventh; the lateral margins are 

 very convex on second and third segments, moderately convex on the fourth segment, less convex but 

 more or less distinctly angular towards or near the posterior margin on the three posterior segments. 

 The three anterior segments combined scarcely longer than fifth and sixth segments together. -- An- 

 terior pairs of legs somewhat slender and moderately long. Second pair (fig. 4 d) with fifth joint a 

 little longer than the fourth and somewhat shorter and thicker than the sixth, which is a little longer 

 than seventh joint with claw; setse short or wanting. Third pair only a little shorter than second; 

 sixth joint a little longer than fifth and not fully twice as long as seventh with claw, with the upper 

 distal setse moderately long. Sixth and seventh pairs (fig. 4 e) considerably shorter than the anterior 

 pairs, somewhat slender; second joint nearly three times as long as broad; fourth and fifth joints a 

 little thickened, respectively with a single spine and two minute distal spines; sixth joint moderately 

 slender and nearly as long as fourth and fifth joints combined; seventh joint very short with the claw 

 minute, both together only about one-third as long as the sixth joint.
