The collection contains a single specimen, which I have some 

 hesitation in referring to this species. 



The rostrum is straight, somewhat shallow, armed with seven 

 teeth above and two below, and just reaches the end of the 

 auteunular peduncle. The cai-apace is armed with supraorbital, 

 antennal, and hepatic spines. The eyes are large and project 

 considerably on either side of the body. The first antenna is 

 longer thaii the scale of the second by three-quarters of the length 

 of its thicker flagellum. The slender inner llagellum is 

 unfortunately broken short on both sides ; it has the appearance, 

 however, of having been longer than the outer one. The flagella 

 of the second antenna are broken off. The scale is louger than 

 the peduncle of the first antenna. 



The third maxilliped reaches the end of the first joint of the 

 antenuular peduncle. 



The first pair of legs exceed the thicker flagellum of the first 

 antenna by about the length of the fingers. These are about 

 as long as the palm. The second legs exceed the antennular 

 peduncle by the wrist and chelae, and the first legs by almost the 

 whole chela. The distal end of their wrist is prolonged dorsally 

 into a short sphie, and the fingers are shorter than the hand. 

 The fourth and fifth legs are subequal, and reach the end of the 

 wrist of the first leg. The fifth pair are slender and attain the
