AMPHIPODA. 13 
Head shorter than the first segment; ocular lobe broadly triangular, produced 
beyond the end of the peduncle of the upper antenne. Eye moderately large, oval, dark. 
Upper antenne : First joint three times as long as the next two united, naked. 
Flagellum 13-14-jointed, the first jot as long as the next three, sparsely setose on 
the upper side. Appendage 5-jointed, the first jomt the longest, the third the shortest. 
Lower antennz rather longer than the upper ; peduncle reaching the end of the third joint 
of the flagellum of the upper; first joint the longest, second the shortest. Mist 
gnathopods: Side plates narrowed and rounded below; wrist two-thirds of the length 
of the hand, which is about twice as long as wide, with parallel margins, setose; palm 
rather oblique, convex, crenulate, defined by a spine. Second ynathopods as in Orchomene 
humilis (Costa) [= O. batei, Sars]. Third pereeopods : Side-plates wider than the depth 
in front, with the usual posterior lobe ; first joint about half as large as the side-plate, 
deeper than wide ; hind margin convex, serrate, produced down to the middle of the 
third joint ; this is much produced behind and downwards. The jifth perzeopods have 
the first joint nearly twice as deep as wide, and longer than the rest of the joints, including 
the dactylus, together, otherwise like the third pair; the dactyli of all the perseopods 
are very short. 
The jirst uropods are subequal in extent to the second, exceeding the third; the 
peduncle is one-fourth longer than the subequal rami, all the parts very spinous on the 
upper margins. Second pair less spinous. Pedunele in the third pair rather longer 
than the outer ramus: inner ramus not nearly reaching the end of the first joint of the 
outer, its inner margin minutely serrate. Telson entire, deeply concave above, the end 
truncate with two setules: it extends beyond the end of the inner rami of the third 
uropods. 
The difference between the telson of this species and that of the female O. /winilis 
is only one of degree, as the truncate margin is slightly concave.
