The male can readily be separated from the males of the other species, by the elongate 
and very pointed apex of the last joint of the exopodite of the left fifth foot, and by the long 
curved spine on the outer distal half of the joint (Plate XLVI, fig. 14). 
Length — female, 2,6 mm., male 2,45 mm. 
The male described by the late I. C. THompson (1903) as Phyllopus bidentatus, is 
‘identical with the male of the present species. The figures of the male fifth pair given by 
WOLFENDEN (1904) and VAN BREEMEN (1908) as Phyllopus bidentatus are the same as that of 
the male of Phyllopus helgae Farran.

Three females and two males that are clearly identical with this species were obtained 
from the plankton collected with the HENsEN vertical net at the following stations. 
Stat. 128 (700 metres to surface), one female and one male. — Stat. 141 (1500 metres to 
surface), one female. — Stat. 143 (1000 metres to surface), one female and one male. 
The two sexes have a general resemblance to those of Phyllopus bidentatus. The female, 
however, is easily separated by the genital segment appearing greatly inflated on each side 
when viewed from above, and by the character of the serration of the apical joint of the 
exopodite of the fifth pair of feet. The teeth are arranged in pairs. The outer tooth of each 
set 1s decidedly larger than the inner one (Plate XLV, fig. 15). The terminal joint of the left 
exopodite of the male fifth pair has the outer margin distinctly angled at the middle. The 
outer distal curved spine on this joint is proportionally shorter than in the males of Phyllopus 
bidentatus or Phyllopus helgae (Plate XLV, fig. 18). 
Length — female 3 mm., male 2,7 mm. 
The fifth pair of feet shewn on plate VI in the report ‘On Entomostraca from the, Gulf 
of Guinea’, and identified by my father as that of Phyllopus bcdentatus Brady, is undoubtedly 
identical with the female fifth pair of Phyllopus tmpar Farran. 
This ‘species has hitherto, only been known from the Atlantic Ocean.

Viewed from above, this species has a general resemblance to Phyllopus bidentatus 
Brady. The last thoracic segment is considerably produced, but the distal ends are only very 
slightly asymmetrical. The distal end of the right side has a small notch. It is not lamelliform. 
Seen from the side, the produced ends of the last thoracic segment are narrowly rounded at
