P r o t o p o d i t e: First endite: The distal bristles are of moderate length and strength, 

 subequal, furnished with a number of wreaths of long, stiff secondary bristles extending right 

 to the points of the bristles; the medial bristles are short and have long hairs. Second endite: 

 This has one distal bristle rather considerably shorter than others, but rather strong, with long 

 secondary bristles in the middle, and with short hairs or almost bare distally; the other distal 

 bristles are of moderate length and strength and subequal; they all have several wreaths of long, 

 stiff secondary bristles and are pectinated or almost smooth distally. The medial bristles are 

 short and have long hairs. Third endite: One of the distal bristles is somewhat shorter than the 

 others, very powerful, and has a few wreaths of long, stiff secondary bristles in the middle and 

 a few very powerful secondary teeth distally. The other distal bristles are of moderate length 

 and strength and subequal; one of the dorsal ones is, however, in most cases somewhat shorter 

 and weaker than the others; either all of them have long, stiff secondary bristles in the middle 

 or one or more may be without them; they are pectinated or bare distally. The medial bristles 

 are of about the same length as the distal ones or somewhat shorter; they have a few wreaths 

 of long, stiff secondary bristles and are pectinated or bare distally. The bristles of the e p i- 

 podial appendage are short, with short hairs or bare ; in only one case was one of these 

 bristles found to have long and soft hairs. Exopodite: Endite of the first joint: The 

 distal and medial bristles are of about the same length and type as the bristles on the third 

 endite of the protopodite; one (in one case two were observed) is somewhat shorter than most 

 of the others, but it is very powerful, it has some wreaths of long, stiff secondary bristles in the 

 middle and is furnished di.stally with a few powerful secondary teeth; two, situated laterally, 

 one ventrally, the other at about half the height of the endite, were considerably shorter and 

 weaker than the rest and had short hairs; in one case only one of them, the ventral one, was 

 found on the limb of the one side, the other was missing. The bristles of the second exopodite 

 joint are all situated near the ventral edge and there is no pronounced gap between the posterior
