Colour not yet ascertained. 



Length of adult female 0.57 mm. 



Remarks. This is the only as yet known species of the genus, and is 

 easily recognised from any of the other Cletodidce, both as regards its outward 

 appearance and the structure of the several appendages. 



Occurrence. I have found this form in 3 different localities of the south 

 coast of Norway, viz., at Grimstad, Lillesand and Farsund. In all 3 places it 

 occurred very sparingly in a depth of 1020 fathoms, muddy bottom. Only 

 female specimens were found. 



Distribution. British Isles (Brady), Franz Josef Land (Scott). 



Gen. 64. Huntemannia, Poppe, 1885. 



Generic Characters. Body stout, attenuated behind, with the segments 

 crowded closely together and rounded laterally. Cephalic segment large and pro- 

 duced in front to a strongly prominent rostrum. Urosome comparatively short, with 

 the' caudal rami each terminating in a strong flattened spine. Anterior antennae 

 short and stout, with the number of joints reduced, and clothed with short, spiniform 

 setae; those in male strongly hinged. Posterior antennae coarsely built, with the 

 spines of the terminal joint short and stout, outer ramus small, lamelliform. Man- 

 dibles strong, with the palp well developed, though uniarticulate. Maxillae and 

 maxillipeds on the whole of normal structure. Legs, however, of a rather anom- 

 alous appearance; 1st pair differing conspicuously from the succeeding ones and 

 very coarsely built, outer ramus 3-articulate, inner uniarticulate. The 3 succeeding 

 pairs with the outer ramus consisting of only 2 joints, inner 1 ramus rudimentary, 

 knob-like. Last pair of legs well separated in the middle, and rather small. 2 

 well-defined divergent ovisacs present in female. 



Remarks. This genus, established in the year 1885 by Poppe, is a very 

 distinct one, exhibiting some rather perplexing features that deviate from the usual 

 Harpacticoid type. Yet in the more general anatomical characters it presents an 

 evident affinity to some genera comprised within the present family, especially to 

 the genus Nannopus of Brady. It is as yet only represented by a single species, 

 to be described below.
