transversal suture dorsally. Caudal rarai long and narrow, discontiguous, each 

 with a small seta in the middle of the outer edge, the 2 middle apical setse of a 

 peculiar soft consistency. Anterior antennae consisting of 7 well-defined articu- 

 lations, none of which are particularly expanded; those of male imperfectly prehen- 

 sile (?). Posterior antennas with the inner ramus very strong, outer comparatively 

 small, 4-articulate. Mandibles with the masticatory part very massive, palp com- 

 paratively large, with both rami somewhat lamellar, and carrying thick plumose 

 setse. Maxillae without any trace of either exopodite or vibratory plate. Anterior 

 maxillipeds with the 1st basal joint gibbously expanded behind; posterior ones 

 4- articulate, last 2 joints (constituting the terminal part) comparatively small and 

 armed with spiniform setae. 1st pair of natatory legs with both rami 3-articulate 

 and of normal appearance, the 3 succeeding pairs with the inner ramus more or 

 less transformed. Last pair of legs very small, with no inner expansion of the 

 proximal joint. 



Remarks. This genus was established by Canon A. M. Norman, to in- 

 clude a peculiar deep-water Copepod found by him off the English coast. The 

 specimens were sent to Prof. Brady for examination, and in the well-known 

 Monograph of the latter author, the genus is recorded as a member of the family 

 Miso2)hriidce. This arrangement is unquestionably incorrect, as the genus does 

 not exhibit any very close affinity to Misophria; and Dr. Griesbrecht has also subse- 

 quently called attention to the unreasonableness of Brady's classification as regards 

 this genus. We do not know at present with certainty more than a single species 

 belonging to this genus.

figs. 3-13. 



Specific Characters. Female. Body slender and elongated, with the an- 

 terior division somewhat depressed and gradually widening in front. Cephalosome 

 comparatively short and broad, almost truncated in front, with the rostral plate 

 very small, triangular. Last segment of rnetasome much narrower than the pre- 

 ceding segment. Urosome (comprising the caudal rami) fully as long as the 

 anterior division of the body, genital segment very large, equalling in length the 

 3 remaining segments combined, and slightly dilated in its anterior part, but 

 without any lateral projections; the succeeding segments finely hairy on the ventral 

 and lateral faces, last segment longer than the preceding one and tapering dis-
