Described fr several specimens taken at Woods Hole, June 25, 1900. The females were carry- 

 ing eggs. 



This species is closely allied to />. sjiinom, the type of the genus, but is of much smaller size and 

 has the basal joint of the posterior peraeopods very much narrower, much fewer joints in the antennae, 

 smaller and differently shaped eyes, and much fewer spines on the inner margin of the outer plate 

 of the maxillipeds. The hand of the first gnathopods is a little stouter and has the palm somewhat 

 less oblique than in the specimen of Ihea figured in Sars's Crustacea of Norway, but in every other 

 feature the Woods Hole specimens agree perfectly with Sars's description and figures.
