have exceedingly weak basal spines, sometimes scarcely perceptible. Endopodite: The 

 second joint has three finely pointed bristles; these bristles are of moderate and somewhat 

 different lengths; the longest is about as long as or somewhat shorter than the breadth of the 

 joint at the place where this bristle is attached, the shortest is about half as long as this or 

 slightly more. Somewhat proximo-medially of these bristles there is a low peg. The thiid 

 joint is rather broad, lancet-shaped, and has rather broad, thin side borders (of about the same 

 t>-pe as in A. curta). On the inside at the point this joint has three or four weak transverse 

 chitinous ridges. The proximal bristle on this joint is rather long, in most cases somewhat
