 This species is very closely allied to 5. raphidea, but differs in the following parti- 

 culars : — 



1. The rostrum (fig. 78) bears some resemblance to that seen in the form of 



5. raphidea figured by De Haan under the name of 5. harpax. The apex, 

 however, is more bluntly rounded. 



2. The dorsal processes of the ophthalmic somite are more sharply-pointed distally. 



3. The antennular peduncle is at least as long as the carapace and rostrum 



combined. 



4. The anterior lateral lobe of the sixth thoracic somite (fig. 80) is prominent and 



acute. It is a little shorter than the posterior lobe, the latter, however, being 

 better developed than in S. raphidea. 



5. The anterior lateral lobe of the seventh thoracic somite is small, but distinct 



and acute (fig. 80). 



6. The intermediate carinae of the last three thoracic somites end in spines. These 



are never found in 5. raphidea of a corresponding size. 



7. The submedian carinae of the fifth abdominal somite end in spines. The com- 



plete formula is ; — ■

8. The dorsal carina of the telson is sharp and considerably higher than in 5. 



raphidea. It terminates in a sharp spine overhanging a single tubercle, bu^ 

 is not continued beyond this to the distal margin. 



The corneal portion of the eyes is a trifle larger than in S. raphidea, specimens
