This species is nearly related to P. li/mani A. M. Edw. et Boiiv.* of the 

 West Indian region, and to P. suhpilosiis Hend.t of New Zealand. From the 

 former it is distinguished by the more prominent and acute rostrum which 

 overhangs the ocular segment, by the smaller number of spines on the 

 antennal acicle, and by the armature of the telson, the margin of which is 

 ornamented with obscure teeth, while in P. hjmani it is furnished with 

 numerous spines whose tips are horny and dark colored. From P. suhpilosus 

 it differs in having shorter eye-stalks and antennal acicle, fewer spines on 

 the antennal acicle, a longer and narrower external prolongation of the 

 second joint of the antenna, and a differently shaped telson. 



The ovisacs of both specimens are large and filled with eggs,
