crest, the small size, or even absence, of the lower spine of the infero-posterior 
angle of the carapace, the greater breadth of the antennal scale, etc. 
Gnathophausia gracilis, var. brevispinis Wood-Mason, agrees with G. dentata 
in the obsolescence of the lower posterior spine, but I infer from Wood-Mason’s 
short description that this variety conforms to the type of G. gracilis as regards 
the gastric teeth, antennal scale, etc. 
Length, 60 mm.; carapace, including rostrum and dorsal spine, 33 mm.; 
rostrum, 14 mm.; dorsal spine, 4 mm.

Eucopia sculpticauda, sp. nov. 
Frontal margin very prominent, forming a three-sided blunt rostram, which 
projects between the eyestalks and wholly conceals the subjacent ocular seg- 
ment, Anterior part of the telson deeply furrowed for a little less than one 
half its length, the furrow bounded on each side by an elevated, rounded ridge; 
a low median keel, beginning in the anterior furrow, runs back to the hind 
end of the telson ; a constriction near the hind end divides off a terminal plate, 
which is broadly rounded at the end, its lateral margin concave; the whole 
dorsal face of the telson, from the posterior end of the anterior ridges to the 
terminal plate, is beautifully ornamented with a network of ridges like honey- 
conib, 
Length, 66 mm.; carapace, measured from lower angle of orbit to posterior 
end of the lateral wings, 23 mm.

Petalophthalmus pacificus, sp. nov. 
Similar to P. armiger W.-Suhm,! but different in some particulars. The 
rostrum is more prominent and triangular; there is a median tooth on the

the female of P. armiger. It agrees closely with the male, barring the usual sex- 
ual differences, viz. the presence of an incubatory pouch, and the simple structure 
of the caudal limbs; the mandibular palp, carapace, telson, etc., are as in the male. 
The brood-pouch consists of six pairs of incubatory lamelle. The Schizopod 
described by Suhm as the female of P. armiger is apparently a Boreomysis. It may 
be called Boreomysis suhmı.
