Cutiron.— Additions to the New Zealand Crustacea. 81 
of a new genus, but, as I have only had two specimens, both of the same 
species, I prefer to leave it under Mr. Haswell’s genus for the present. 
The details (fig. 1 a-d) were taken from a small specimen, and hence may 
not represent quite accurately their form in more adult specimens. 
Genus Moera, Leach. 
(Cat. Amphip. Crust. Brit. Mus., p. 187.) 
Moera spinosa, Haswell. (Proc. Linn. Soc. N.8.W., iv., p. 268, pl. £; 
fig. 5; and Cat. Aust. Crust., p. 257.) 
« Posterior margin of the five anterior segments of the pleon armed 
with a few acute teeth or spines ; fourth and fifth segments armed behind 
with acute spines. Coxe much shallower than their respective segments. 
Lateral plate of the third segment of the pleon serrated posteriorly. Eyes 
long, oval. Superior antenne more than half the length of the body ; first 
segment of peduncle as long as the cephalon and first segment of the 
pereion ; second rather longer ; third very short; flagellum as long as the 
peduncle ; appendage nearly half as long as the flagellum.* 
“Inferior antennz more than half as long as the superior pair; third 
segment of peduncle equal in length to the first segment of the pereion ; 
fourth twice as long as the third, fifth as long as the cephalon ; flagellum 
as long as the fifth segment of the peduncle. Anterior gnathopoda hairy, 
carpus rather longer than the propodos; the latter ovate ; palm oblique, 
notched. Posterior gnathopoda with the propodos large, ovate, more 
dilated in the male than in the female, palm defined by a strong acute 
tooth, and armed in the male with two other prominent teeth. Two anterior 
pairs of pereiopoda sub-equal. Third pair rather shorter than the fourth 
and fifth; basos of the three posterior pairs produced at its postero-distal 
angle; meros, carpus, and propodos serrated and hairy. Fifth pair of 
pleopoda much shorter than the fourth. Sixth pair large, with a stout 
protopodite and two broad-lanceolate rami, the latter serrated and armed 
with sete.  Telson double, each half ending in a sharp spine, and armed 
with a bundle of stiff sete. Length 8 lines.” 
Hab, Auckland. 
Of this species I have two specimens, a male and a female, for which I 
have to thank Professor Hutton. He found them in a collection of Mollusea 
sent him from Auckland. Mr. Haswell’s specimens were from Tasmania. 
In my specimen of the male the second gnathopod of the right side only 
has the two promiment teeth on the palm, and these are rather larger and 
more blunt at the end than those shown in Mr. Haswell’s figure; the 
second gnathopod of the left side is like those of the female, having the palm 
slightly convex, and without the two teeth. (See plate IL, fig. 3a.) 
* In the So wee this is by an error printed “ appendage nearly as long as the flagellum,"
