superior antennffij the peculiar arrangement of the hairs at the 

 base of the flagellum of the same antennte, the longer 

 mandible-palp, and the form of the largely developed basal 

 joint of the last pereiopods. 



As was pointed out by the Eev. Mr. Stebbing several years 

 ago, there appears to be comparatively little difference between 

 Cyproidia^ Haswell, and Stegoplax^ G. O. Sars. The only 

 characters of any value that appear to separate the two genera 

 are the apparent presence {Cyproidia) or absence {Stegoplax) 

 of a minute secondary appendage to the superior antennse, 

 and the hands of the second gnathopods being larger than 

 [Cyproidia] or similar to [Stegoplax) the hands of the first 

 gnathopods ; the difference of length of the rostrum can only 

 be of specific value. The Moray Firth specimen, in possessing 

 no secondary appendage to the superior antenna, agrees 

 better with Haswell's amended description than with that of 

 the Eev. Mr. Stebbing, as well as exhibits a close affinity 

 with Stegoplax.
