In some small specimens the granulations arranged in two lono-itudinal 

 rows on the gastric region are transformed into small spines. In one youn^r 

 example the rostrum is armed with two spines on one side and with one on 

 the other side. 



The prominent spine on the basal end of the telson at once separates 

 this species from any hitherto described. The roundness of the cephalo- 

 thorax resulting from the convexity of the branchiostegites is also character- 

 istic. The abdominal pleura? are intermediate in shape between those of 



agasskil There is but one pair of spines (the anterior 

 pair) behind the orbit, where there are two pairs in N.
