Fig. 139. Hyperiella macronyx (Walker) (after Bowman, 1973). 



The pereon of females is not as bulged as in other species of the 

 genus. The outer lobe of maxillae II has three apical spines. The max- 

 illipeds do not have groups of spines in the distal part of the basal 

 segment. 



Pereopods I-IV are similar to those in other species of the genus. 

 Pereopods V are somewhat longer than the head and pereon together. 

 Pereopods VI are slightly longer than V and significantly longer than 

 pereopods VII, which are approximately equal to pereopods III and IV 

 in length. The anterior distal angle of the 2nd and 4th segments of pere- 

 opods V-VII is not stretched into a well-developed acute denticle. The 

 6th segment of pereopods III-VII is longer and narrower than the 5th.
