hairs. Inferior antenne slightly longer than the superior; fourth and fifth 
segments of the peduncle sub-equal; flagellum half as long again as the 
last segment of peduncle, of about twelve articuli; both peduncle and 
flagellum armed with slender hairs, which are longer on the former. An- 
terior gnathopoda small, carpus slightly longer than propodos, thickly 
fringed on inferior edge with serrated sete, propodos ovate, setose on both 
margins, one or two stout sete at point of impingement of the end of dactylos. 
Posterior gnathopoda very large ; meros with a pointed process at its infero- 
distal angle; carpus short, sub-triangular ; propodos about six times the 
length of carpus, broad at the base, narrowing distally ; palm two-thirds of 
the length of propodos, concave, with a low protuberance at its distal end, 
armed with fasciculi of long hairs, defined by a spine-like tooth ; dactylos 
nearly as long as the propodos, with an enlargement on its inner edge near 
the base. Cox of third segment of pereion extending anteriorly slightly 
beyond the middle of coxa of second segment, antero-inferior angle rounded, 
margin ornamented with small circular or elliptical markings at intervals. 
Rami of posterior pleopoda scarcely larger than the others, lanceolate, armed 
with a few bristles. Telson small, ending in two conical projections, each 
bearing a stout seta. Colour, light olive with minute black dots. Length 
1 inch. 
Hab. Lyttelton Harbour. Also “Clark Island, Port Jackson; amongst 
seaweed ” (Haswell). 
This species so closely resembles the preceding one in everything but 
the second gnathopoda that it must be placed in the same genus. It has a 
certain puzzling resemblance to Moera, to which it was referred by Mr. 
Haswell, but differs in the broad setose appendage of the mandible, and in 
the strong fringe of sete on the antenne (wherein it approaches Podocerus 
and other allied genera), and in the telson. 
I do not know the female of this species as such. It probably would be 
almost indistinguishable from that of Paranania typica. 
The mandibles and maxillipedes are almost exactly the same as those 
figured for Paranenia typica. When dissecting out the mouth-parts I came 
across the part figured in pl. xxi, fig. 2a. It evidently corresponds with 
and closely resembles the **epistoma" of Cerapus abditus, figured by Bate 
and Westwood in vol. i., p. 455, of the * British Sessile-eyed Crustacea.” It 
consists of a transversely elliptical portion, with short sete pointing inwards 
on the posterior margin, and, springing from this, a long pointed process. 
Paranania longimanus, sp. nov. Pl. xx., fig. 2, a to c. : 
Male.—First gnathopoda with the meros ending distally in an acute 
point; carpus considerably longer than the propodos ; inferior margin 
thickly fringed with sete, chiefly arranged in short transverse rows;
