10. Scinapubera Wagler, 1926 (Fig. 69) 



Wagler, 1926: 354; Vinogradov, 1964: 134. 



Length of known specimens does not exceed 8.5 mm; sexually 

 mature specimens have not been found. 



The body, as in S. spinosa, is thickset. The mouth cone is large. 

 Antennae I are strong, shorter than the pereon. The eyes are small. 



The maxillipeds have oblong-oval outer lobes weakly tapering dis- 

 151 tally; the long inner lobes are more than half the length of the outer lobes, 

 i.e., their relative length is more than in any other species of Scina. 



The pereopods are short and strong. In pereopods I and II the 5th 

 and 6th segments are equal in length; the claw is long (equal to half the 

 length of the 6th segment) and slightly curved. In pereopods III and IV 

 the 4th segment is short; unlike in S. spinosa, it is considerably — at least 

 50% — shorter than the 5th segment and differs little in length from the 

 3rd segment; the 6th segment is notably weaker (narrower) and shorter 

 than the 5th; the claw is long and slightly curved. The 2nd segment of 

 pereopods V is denticulate on the anterior margin (more coarsely) and
