triangular; propodos irregularly ovoid, palm oblique, excavate, defiued by 
a triangular tooth, and armed with another of similar form near the distal 
end. Two anterior pairs of pereiopoda subequal; three posterior pairs 
with the basa oblong twice as long as broad, the other joints very broad, 
the dactylos very stout; fourth pair smaller than the fifth and sixth. 
Rami of fourth pair of pleopoda as long as the protopodite; those of the 
fifth pair shorter; those of sixth pair very short, conieal, armed with a few 
straight sete. Telson simple, conical, compressed. Colour brown. Length, 
z5 inch." 
Hab. Lyttelton Harbour; Timaru. 
This species is moderately common at Lyttelton Harbour; Mr. Has- 
well’s specimens are from Port Jackson. The female differs from the male 
in the form of the second gnathopoda. The first gnathopoda are like those 
of male, and are shown in pl. Il., fie. 5 a. They are very hairy, and at 
the inferior edge of the palm are two stout sete. The second gnathopoda 
of female are much smaller than those of the male, the carpus is sub- 
triangular and larger than the carpus in the second gnathopoda of male, it 
has its distal and inferior borders setose; propodos only slightly broader 
than the carpus, long ovate, with small tufts of sete on the two sides and 
on the middle, palm oblique imperfectly defined by a stout seta on each side 
at the end of the dactylos. 
Genus Moera. 
Moera incerta, sp. noy. Pl. III., fig. 3. 
None of the segments of pleon or pereion produced into teeth. Coxm 
shallower than their respective segments. Basal joint of upper antenna 
stout, narrowing distally, second joint only slightly longer than the first, 
third joint short; flagellum shorter than peduncle, about as long as the 
basal joint and half the second; secondary appendage rather more than 
half as long as the flagellum ; sete on the antenna short and very fine. 
Lower antenna shorter than the upper, slender; peduncle as long as that 
of upper antenna, last joint of peduncle slightly shorter than the preceding 
joint, flagellum short, not quite so long as the last joint of the peduncle, 
sete short and delicate. First pair of gnathopoda having the carpus about 
as large as the propodos ; its outer edge with a shallow notch towards the 
distal end, inner edge densely fringed with sete, small tufts of sets» 
seattered over the joint; propodos ovate, not very hairy, palm slightly 
convex, fringed with short sete, imperfectly defined by one or two 
stout short sete; dactylos slender acute, with one or two long sete at its 
base. Second pair of gnathopoda very large, carpus rather small sub- 
triangular, propodos very large, subrectangular, slightly narrowed at 
the base, inner margin slightly sinuous, with a few small tufts of sel:
