Female. The nearest approach in the Pacific to the S. gaimardii of 

 the Atlantic. Associated with S. townsendi, with which it may easily be 

 confounded ; distinguished from it as follows : 



The rostrum is rather more concave above instead of nearly straight ; 

 it reaches end of, or may exceed, antennal scale. 



The antennular scale does not reach the end of the second segment of 

 the peduncle. 



The antennular peduncle reaches middle of antennal scale (length 

 measured along outer margin). The second segment is appreciably 

 longer than the third. 



The antennal scale, measured on its outer margin, is much shorter than 

 the carapace. 



The outer maxillipeds overlap the distal fourth of the antennal scale, 

 and may reach the end of the scale. 



The second pereiopod is commonly destitute of an epipod ; sometimes
