UKUSTACEA — WHITELEGGE. 179 



Fourth leg 1 '-t mm. long ; the borders are sparsely setiferous ; 

 ischium and merus joints subetjual in length ; f)ropodal i-asp as 

 long as the tarsus, oblong, with three rows of scales. 



Fifth pair of legs slender, I'G mm. long; merus ecjual in length 

 to the three following joints ; rasp, small, interrupted; propodus 

 with a series of six rasp-like spinules situated on the anteiior 

 distal border. 



Pleon strongly convex, the segments rounded and distinct, the 

 first narrow, the second, third and fourth equal, longer than the 

 fifth ; each postero-lateral angle has a rounded lobe, which is 

 slightly notched at its origin anteriorly. 



Pleopods unequally biramous, the outer and larger branch witli 

 eleven long plumose sette, confined to the distal half of the margin; 

 inner ramus slender, glabrous, about half as long as the outer, 

 with a rudimentary rasp consisting of a line of four curved scales, 

 equal in size and in distance apart, they are situated on the outer 

 margin near the distal extremity. 



Uropods rather large, equal; protopodite with a small spine on 

 the inner distal angle ; outer ramus nearly as long as the width 

 of the telson, subtriangular in outline and margined throughout 

 with plumose hairs ; outer border nearly straight, distal obliquely 

 truncated, with three rows of oval scales ; inner ramus as broad 

 as long, margin setose, distal border rounded with two or three 

 rows of scales. 



Telson subquadrate, the sides nearly straight, with six simple 

 hairs, three on each margin about the middle ; lateral angles 

 rounded, distal margin slightly convex, with twelve long plumose 

 setje ; they are confined to the inner two-fourths of the border, 

 and the outer ones are more remote from each other than those 

 nearer the centre ; upper surface marked anteriorly with numerous 

 fine transverse striations; at about the distal fourth the stride 

 bend towards the extremity and are longitudinally disposed in 

 the central region.
