somewhat longer than pereopods V or VII. The 2nd segment of pere- 

 opods V is somewhat broader than in pereopods VI and VII; in pere- 

 opods V its anterior margin is devoid of ornamentation, in pereopods VI 

 bears one spinule, and in pereopods VII has two spinules. The 5th seg- 

 ment of pereopods V in females always bears a long spine on the anterior 

 distal angle, while in males this spine is small. 



The telson is somewhat less in length than its width at the base; in 

 females the length is 2/3, in males slightly less than 1/2 the length of 

 the basipodite of uropods III. 



Distribution: Surface waters of the tropical regions of the Atlantic, 

 Indian, and Pacific oceans. It also penetrates the transitory zone between 

 the tropical and boreal regions.
