though so closely juxtaposed as scarcely to extend beyond the lateral edges of 

 the urosome. 



Colour whitish grey. 



Length of adult female 0.75 mm. 



Remarks. This species, being the first recorded, may be regarded as the 

 type of the present genus. It is easily recognised from the other species by the 

 conically produced rostrum, and the unusually broad urosome, thus fully deserving 

 the specific name given to it by Boeck. 



Occurrence. I have only met with this form in the upper part of the 

 Christiania Fjord, at Nordstrand, east of the town. It occurred here occasionally 

 in a depth of 30 40 fathoms, muddy bottom. Out of Norway this form has not 

 yet been recorded.

Specific Characters. Female. Body of a short, stout form similar to 

 that in the preceding species, though somewhat constricted in the middle, posterior 

 edge of the segments fringed with delicate spinules. Cephalic segment gradually 

 contracted in front, and somewhat exceeding in length the 3 succeeding segments 

 combined, rostral projection broadly triangular in form, with the tip slightly ex- 

 serted. Urosome about the length of the anterior division and rather thick, all 

 the segments, except the last, produced laterally to short, but well defined, some- 

 what recurved acute projections; last segment very large, with the anal opercle 

 broad and prominent, coarsely denticulated at the edge. Caudal rami compara- 

 tively short, not nearly twice as long as they are broad, and only slightly tapering 

 distally, dorsal seta issuing in front of the middle, apical seta? rather slender, the 

 middle one nearly attaining the length of the urosome. Anterior antennas with 

 the 2nd joint much shorter than the 3rd. Posterior antennae very small, with the 

 terminal joint nearly as long as the basal one, outer rainus replaced by a minute 

 simple bristle. Posterior maxillipeds with the dactylus comparatively shorter than 

 in the type species, about equalling the hand in length. 1 st pair of legs with the 

 terminal joint of the outer ramus scarcely larger than the middle one, and armed 

 with only 2 spines and 2 slender setae; inner ramus comparatively small, though 

 distinctly biarticulate, distal joint without any seta inside, middle apical seta very 

 small, hair-like. Inner ramus of 2nd pair of legs, as in 1st pair, biarticulate;
