The first maxilla is three-lobed, the outer branch bifid, 
with one or two long sete on each division. 
In the second maxillipeds the exopod is very large, the last 
two joints of the five-jointed endopod deflexed. 
In the third vete acer the endopod is very long, reaching 
forwards as far as the lower flagellum of the antennule, the 
three joints are well beset with hairs. The first joint is 
longer than the third, the second about one-third the length 
of the third, the third is more vertically compressed, slightly 
curved and a little tapering, very hairy on the inner “side, 
as also is the second, with four or five strong, divergent 
spines at the end. The exopod is very small. 
The first pereiopods are moderately strong. Both merus 
and carpus are distally excavate to receive prominences of 
the succeeding joints, which are articulated at their inner 
proximal angles. The palm is smooth and scarcely com- 
pressed, with a slight longitudinal suleation on the inner 
side, the fingers are a little more than half as long as the 
palm, they are curved and are distally cut into two or three cor- 
neous teeth, and are setose on their apices and margins, and 
excavate, the carpus and palm together are subequal in 
length to the ischium and merus together. The merus has 
a row of small teeth at the outer distal end, and the mar gin 
of the cup-like carpus has—besides the shallow one at the 
articulation of the palm—two deep insinuations near the mar- 
gin, on the inner side there is a row of pectinate sete. 
The second pereiopods are long and slender. The carpal 
joint is divided into seven, the frit four become successively 
shorter, the fourth, fifth, and sixth are subequal in length, 
the seventh about as long as the third, the nu is a little 
longer than the seventh division of the carpus, the fingers 
are half as long as the palm, the ischium and merus together 
are subequal in length to the succeeding joints together, the 
merus is a little longer than the ischium, and together they 
form a slight curve. The end of the last joint of the carpus 
has a pencil of long bristles, and some are situated on the 
fingers. 
The following three pairs of pereiopods are moderately 
stout, the last pair a little weaker, they are sparely spined, 
the ischi and meri together are stouter and subequal in 
length to the succeeding joints, the carpi are slightly curved, 
the propodi slightly compressed and a little curved; 
the dactyli are strong, curved, with two strong claws, and a 
few spines inward from them. 
The pleopods are well developed, the rami subequal. Ths 
uropods have moderately broad rami, the external one has a 
tooth and articulated spine, with a sinuate division some- 
what distant from the end, the outer margin is straight.
