This species is stated by Bovallius to be " one of the largest 

 of all the Aniphipoda, measuring 30-42 millim." The * Por- 

 cupine ' specimen is only 5 millim. long. Nevertiieless, in 

 most essential jioints, such as general character, the gnatho- 

 pods, the structure and proportional lengths of the peraiopods, 

 &c., it agrees with L. Sayana. The lower antenna? have the 

 penultimate joint shorter in proportion to the last, and the 

 telson is not quite so long as the basal joint of the last uropods. 

 BovalHus lays stress upon this last cliaracter as specific 

 throughout the genus; but age may easily make a difference 

 iu it. In form the telson corresponds to that of L. Sayana,
