Differs from (1. V/MV.X/ /;/<//<(//* only in the following particulars: 



The length of the free portion of the rostrum is more than four-fifths that 

 of the rest of the carapace measured in the middle line, and the anterior of the 

 lateral spines of the rostrum is a good way behind the middle : the anterior half 

 of the rostrum is foveolate dorsally <>n cither side of the very faint median 

 longitudinal ridge. 



The 3rd or dorso-lateral crest of the carapace ends in a small spine. 



The tubercles between the crests of the carapace arc very much smaller and 

 less numerous, in fact are mere granules which, on the lateral regions especially, 

 are quite inconspicuous. On the abdominal terga also they are less numerous, 

 and on the abdominal pleura more confluent. 



The antennular peduncle hardly reaches beyond the antennal scale, and the 

 antennular flagella are longer. 



The second pair of thoracic legs are decidedly shorter than any of the last 

 three pairs, and reach only to the end of the antennal scale. 



Colour in life bright crimson. 



Length of carapace and rostrum 34 millim., of abdomen 42 millim.

Differs from G. in vestigatoris only in the following particulars : 



The free portion of the rostrum is more than three-fourths the length of 



the rest of the carapace measured in the middle line, and the anterior of the 



lateral spines of the rostrum is a good way behind the middle. 



The crests of the carapace are thinner, and the tubercles between them 



are very much smaller and less numerous, being little more than scattered 



granules. 



The 2nd or " subdorsal " crest of the carapace is as distinct in it* anterior 

 as it is in its posterior half, and is sharply serrated throughout, its spines being 

 compressed and the front one being larger than the rostral spine>.
