CARL BOVALLIUS, AMPHIPODA HYPERIIDEA. 



The uropoda (PI. VI, fig. 13) are elongated; the peduncles are smooth along the 

 outer margins, and beset with longer or shorter hairs along the inner; those of the last 

 pair are longer than the last ural segment. The rami are very narrow, acute, finely 

 serrated along both margins. 



The telson is triangular, shorter than half the length of the peduncle of the last 

 pair of uropoda.

PI. V, fig. 14—23. 



Diagll. Corpus non carinatum, integumento levi. Caput rostrum acutum gerens. Oculi modici, ovati. 

 Segmentum septimum pereii brevissimum, segmentum secundum ac tertium longissima, 

 segmenta tria ultima segmento quarto longiora. Pedes pereii priori paris metacarpo crasso 

 fere conico, longiore quam latiore. Pedes quarti paris pedibus quinti paris longitudine 

 a-quales. Pedes sexti paris quam pereion breviores. Pedes septimi paris pedibus quarti 

 paris breviores. Segmenta plei non serrata. Pedes uri breves. Telson pedunculo ultinri 

 paris pedum uri brevius, lingulatum. 



The body is not keeled, the integument smooth. The eyes are middle-sized, ovate. The 

 seventh pereional segment is the shortest, the second and third are the longest; the last 

 three segments are longer than the fourth. The first pair of pereiopoda with a thick 

 nearly conical metacarpus, which is longer than broad. The fourth pair are as long as 

 the fifth pair. The sixth pair are shorter than the pereion. The seventh pair are shorter 

 than the fourth. The phonal segments are not serrated. The uropoda are short. The 

 telson is shorter than the peduncle of the last pair of uropoda, tongue-shaped. 



Colour. Brownish. 



Length. 10—13 mm. 



Hab. The South Atlantic, the tropical parts of the Atlantic. (D. M.).

An examination of some fresher specimens of Lanceola curticeps has convinced me that 

 I was wrong in making it a species of its own; it is not specifically different; the name 

 Lanceola curticeps must therefore be rejected and the specimens considered as varieties 

 only of Lanceola felina, characterized by a little longer pleon and a shorter telson. 



The body is smooth, somewhat elongated and depressed, not so much arched as in the 

 preceding species. 



The head is only twice as deep as long, the acute rostrum is longer than the rest 

 of the head. The head with the rostrum is half as long as the first pereional segment.
