The rostrum, in the larger specimen obtained this year, is deeper, 

 more horizontal and bears only nine spines on its upper margin, a 

 rather wide interval separating the 1st from the 2nd and the 8th from 

 the 9th spines. 



The fingers of the larger of the 2nd pair of legs are flattened so as 

 to form two broad opposing surfaces, end in recurved hooks, and are 

 furnished each in its proximal half with two small sharp interlocking 

 tubercles in addition to the blunt tubercle which the movable finger 

 carries close to its articular end. 



A female, bearing very numerous small eggs, and measuring 50 

 millims. from tip of rostrum to end of telson was trawled at Station 197, 

 406 fms.
