2. Gammaracea.—'The following recent genus is not included in the 
Synopsis of Gammaracea given in this volume, p. 135. 
* Epniprnona, White, (Phil. Mag., [3], i, 926, 1848.)—Hleead rather 
large; antenna distant from each other, the upper pair with the basal 
joints very thick and corneous, inserted in a deep notch in front of 
head; two setze at the end of each, the outer the thicker. Lower pair of 
antennz with the basal joint somewhat elongated and furnished with hairs. 
* Body much compressed, the lateral appendages on the first eight 
joints very large, and nearly concealing the legs; the appendage of the 
fourth joint much dilated behind at the end ; eighth to eleventh joints 
slightly keeled on the back ; appendages of the three last joints of the 
abdomen longish, with short spines on the edge behind. 
* A genus allied to Orchestia and Lese 
* Sp. Ephipphora Króyeri.^ — * * * 
The description is hardly full enough to ad. whether the genus is 
related most closely to the Orchestidae or Gammaridze. — The large size 
of the basal joint of the upper antennz, together with the large epime- 
rals appear to show that it belongs with the Callianassinge ; and it may 
be identical with one of the genera in which the superior antennze are 
appendiculate. J. D. Dana.
