Diagn. Corpus carinatum. Femur pedum percei parium trium ultiniorum modice dilatatum, plus quam 

 duplo longius quam latius. Tibia pedum quihti paris quani genu duplo longior, post pro- 

 ducts, processum formans diniidio stipitis articuli multo breviorem ; dactylus levis. Pedes 

 uri priiui paris pedes secundi paris superantes; pedunculus ramo interno longior; ramus 

 externus pedum secundi ac tertii parium ramo interno paullo brevior. Telson dimidio seg- 

 menti ultimi uri paullo longius, peduncular!) pedum uri ultimi paris latitudine asquans, ac 

 quarta parte longitudinis pedunculi ejusdem brevior. 



The body is carinated. The femur of the last three pairs of peraiopoda is moderately dilated, 

 being more than twice as long as broad. The tibia of the fifth pair is twice as long as 

 the genu; the lower hind corner is produced into a process, which is much shorter than 

 half the rest of the joint; the dactylus is smooth. The first pair of uropoda reach beyond 

 the apex of the second pair; the peduncle is longer than the inner ramus; the outer ramus 

 of the second and third pairs is a little shorter than the inner. The telson is a little more 

 than half as long as the last ural segment; it is as broad, and less than a fourth part as 

 long, as the peduncle of the last pair of uropoda. 



Colour. Brownish red. 



Length. 15—25 mm. 



Hab. The Antarctic region; the Southern temperate regions of the Atlantic, of the Indian 

 Ocean, and of the Pacific. (D. M.; F. M.; K. M.; P. M.; S. M.; U. M.)
