Fig. 50. Mimonectes gaussi (Woltereck), male (after Shoemaker, 1945a). 



Antennae II in sexually mature males are about 3/4 the length«of 

 antennae I. 



The mandibles have a finely denticulate, comparatively broad cutting 

 edge, with a deep notch in its lower part. In maxillae I the distal margin 

 of the lobes and the palp is rounded; the spines on the outer lobe are 

 weak; the outer and inner lobes bear numerous thin setae,usually longer 

 on the distal margin of the outer lobe. The inner lobe of maxillae II is 

 almost square, twice broader than the outer; both lobes bear numerous 

 thin setae. The outer lobes of the maxillipeds is armed with short setae 

 on the inner margin and, in addition, with some longer and stronger 

 setae in the distal part of the outer margin, with no small setae occurring 

 between the two groups; the outer lobe is oval or its outer distal margin 

 from the site of attachment of the outermost seta straightly truncated, 

 and the angle stretched and acute; the inner lobes are broad, pubescent, 

 and armed with isolated strong setae in the distal part. 



Pereopods I, and especially pereopods II, have a conical, distally nar- 

 rowed 6th segment; this segment terminates in a long thin denticulate 

 process projecting above the claw, and a shorter process under the claw; 

 the posterior margin of the segment bears long and strong setae, while 

 in males the distal surface of the 6th segment of pereopods I bears long
