length of the next three segments added to one-third of the length of the furcal joints. The 
second and third segments are of nearly equal length. The anal segment is one and one-third 
times the length of the second segment. The furcal joints are rather long and moderately 
slender, and are twice as long as the anal segment. The joints are furnished with one outer 
marginal seta placed near the distal end, and four apical setae (Plate LXVII, fig. 18). 
The antennules are comparatively stout and seven-jointed. The second joint is considerably 
longer than the others. The third and seventh joints are short (Plate LXVII, fig. 19). 
The antennae are four-jointed. The apex of the fourth joint is furnished with three 
slender curved claws and three setae. The inner claw is stouter than the other two (Plate 
LXVII, fig. 20): 
The apex of the mandible is stylet-shaped and is furnished with a simple lamella (Plate 
JEXOWAUE, ster, 2211 ZA\)). 
The maxillae are very short. The apex is furnished with four setae. 
The apex of the first pair of maxillipedes is in the form of a long slender stylet. The 
upper margin is fringed with fine spines (Plate LXVII, fig. 22). 
The second pair of maxillipedes is prehensile. The basal joint is moderately large and 
broad. The second and third joints are very narrow. The distal end of the third joint is 
furnished with two short spines (Plate LXVII, fig. 23). 
The exopodites and endopodites of the first three pairs of feet are three-jointed. The 
exopodite of the fourth pair of feet is three-jointed. The endopodite is one-jointed and 1s 
furnished with two apical spines (Plate LXVI, fig. 24). 
The fifth pair of feet is very small. The apex of each foot is provided with one spine 
and one seta. 
Male unknown. 
This species can readily be indentified by the short body and comparatively long and 
slender abdomen, and by the elongate furcal joints. 
Occurrence. — One specimen was found in the washings from dredged invertebrata 
collected at Station 226, midway between the Lucipara and the Schildpad Islands, from a 
depth of 1595 metres.

Female — length 1,35 mm. 
Seen from above, the body appears elongate and rather narrow. The frontal margin is 
narrowly rounded. It is almost angular in outline. The fourth segment is produced posteriorly 
and the distal ends are narrowly rounded. The fifth segment is considerably expanded at the 
distal end. 
The abdomen is composed of four segments, The combined length of the abdomen 
and furcal joints is contained one and three-fourth times in the total length of the cephalothorax, 
from the frontal margin to the distal end of the fifth thoracic segment. The genital segment 
is comparatively long and is equal to the combined length of the next three segments. The
