brevissima, segmentum quintum longissimum. Epimera quattuor prima sequentibus non 

 altiora. Carpus primi paris pedum pereii non productus, metacarpum longitudine aequans; 

 metacarpus minute serratus. Carpus pedum secundi paris productus, minute serratus, 

 metacarpo brevior. Metacarpi pedum quinti ac sexti parium carpi multo longiores. Pedes 

 septimi paris femore pedum sexti paris breviores; femur post convexum, articulis sequen- 

 tibus plus quam duplo longius. Latera segmentorum plei rotundata. Segmentum secun- 

 dum ac tertium uri coalita (?). Pedunculus pedum uri primi paris ramos longitudine asquans, 

 pedunculus pedum secundi paris ramis brevior; pedunculus pedum ultimi paris ramis quater 

 longior, rami non serrati. Telson cylindratum, parvum. 



The head is not produced, almost globular, shorter than the first three pereional segments. 

 The first pair of antenna' evenly tapering toward the end, sharp-pointed. The first and 

 second pereional segments are the shortest, the fifth the longest. The first four pairs of 

 epimerals are not deeper than the following. The carpus of the first pair of pereiopoda 

 is not produced, as long as the metacarpus; the metacax-pvis is minutely serrated. The 

 carpus of the second pair is produced, minutely serrated, shorter than the metacarpus. 

 The metacarpi of the fifth and sixth pairs are much longer than the carpi. The seventh 

 pair are shorter than the femur of the sixth pair. The posterior margin of the femur of 

 the seventh pair is convex; the femur is more than twice as long as all the following joints 

 together. The lateral parts of the pleonal segments are rounded. The second and third 

 ural segments are coalesced (?). The peduncle of the first pair of uropoda is as long as 

 the rami; that of the second pair is shorter than the rami; that of the third pair is four 

 times longer than the rami; the rami of the last pair are smooth. The telson is cylin- 

 drical, small. 



Colour. Black, being thickly covered with coarse, stellate spots of black pigment. 



Length. 8 mm.

From the description of Spence Bate the following details may be repeated : 



The pigment of the eyes is black, almost filling the entire head. 



The first pair of antennce are longer than the head. 



The second pair of antennae are longer than the first pair, very slender. 



The second joint of the mandibular palp is the longest. 



The dactylus of the first pair of pereiopoda is straight, minutely serrated. 



The metacarpus of the second pair is linear, the lower part of the posterior margin 

 sei'rated with a row of triple-pointed teeth. The dactylus is short, thick, sharp, serrated 

 upon the posterior margin. 



The third arid fourth pairs are longer than the two preceding pairs, subequal; the 

 femur is not dilated; the metacarpus is longer than the carpus, armed with short stiff 

 spines upon the posterior margin; the dactylus is short. 



The fifth and sixth pairs are much longer than the two preceding pairs; the femur
