NEW MYSIDACID CRUSTACEANS TATTERSALL

Remarks. — The exact generic position of this specimen is some- 

 what doubtful and must remain so until more complete and adult male 

 specimens are available. It differs from the only other described 

 species of the genus, M. oculata Tattersall (1911), in the practical 

 absence of a rostral plate, in the large and peculiar form of the eyes,

and in the smaller and narrower antennal scale. On the other hand 

 there is no other genus to which it can be referred. Although the 

 spines on the telson are broken, I think it is clear that the general 

 form and armature of the telson are perhaps nearer to this genus 

 than to any other. I refer it provisionally to Metamblyops, and rely 

 on the combination of characters of the carapace, eyes, antennal scale, 

 and telson for its specific recognition.
