Hyperia Normani, u. n. 

 Facsimile from Sp. Bate. Catal. Ampli. Crust. Brit. Museum, pi. 48, fig. 5. 



Diagn. Caput curtum, segmentis duobus primis perai brevius. Segmeuta omnia ^rcei libera. Carpus 

 pedum perwi primi et secundi parium dilatatus, productus; margo anterior processus carpalis 

 dimidium marginis posterioris metacarpi longitudine ajquans; dactylus curtus. Pedes tertii 

 ac quarti parium pedibus parium duorum pmecedentium paullo longiores, spinis destituti; 

 femur latum. Pedes parium trium ultimorum duobus prascedentibus paullulo longiores; 

 femur latum; femur pedum septimi paris rectangulare, angulo infero-posteriore acuto; 

 metacarpus longus. Latera segmentorum phi post obtusa. Pedes uri secundi paris pedes 

 primi paris longitudine superantes, apicem pedum ultimi paris fere attingentes. Pedun- 

 culus pedum ultimi paris plus quam duplo longior quam latior. Telson lanceolatum, tertiam 

 partem pedunculi pedum uri ultimi paris longitudine aequans. 



The head is short, shorter than the first two peraeonal segments together. All the perceonal 

 segments are free. The carpus of the first two pairs of peraiopoda is dilated and produced; 

 the front side of the carpal process is half as long as the hind margin of the meta- 

 carpus; the dactylus is short. The third and fourth pairs are only a little longer than the 

 two preceding, without spines; the femur is broad. The last three pairs are a little longer 

 than the third and fourth; the femur is broad; the femur of the seventh pair is rectangular, 

 with the lower hind corner sharp- pointed; the metacarpus is long. The lateral parts of 

 the phonal segments are obtuse behind. The second pair of uropoda are longer than the 

 first, and reach almost to the apex of the last pair. The peduncle of the last pair is more 

 than twice as long as broad. The telson is lanceolate, as long as a third part of the pe- 

 duncle of the last pair of uropoda.
