on the accessory plate. The lower lobe of maxillae II has one subterminal 

 and two terminal spines; the inner lobe has a short terminal spine. The 

 outer lobes of the maxillipeds are conical, their length three times their 

 width, and bear three-four spines along the inner margin. 

 312 The 2nd segment of pereopods I has a fairly convex anterior margin; 



the 4th segment has two-three (rarely four) spines on the posterior distal 

 angle; the distal process of the 5th segment has five-six spines; the 6th 

 segment has two-three spines on the anterior mafgin. The distal process 

 of the 5th segment of pereopods II extends to half the length of the 6th 

 segment; the 6th segment has one-two spines on the anterior margin. 

 The 2nd segment of pereopods V-VII is distally broadened; the anterior 

 margin of the 5th-6th segments is armed with a row of dense short thin 

 setae. The 6th segment of pereopods VI-VII bears a strong spine on the 

 distal margin. The telson in females extends to approximately 1/2, in 

 males 2/5 the length of the basipodite of uropods III. 



Notes: The degree of ornamentation of the pereopods changes with 

 age in these crustaceans. In the young the number of spines is less but in 

 adults, more. Small variations have been noted in the number of spines
