LAOPHONTE. 83 
In the male, the antenna is clawed, as in L. curticauda. 
The outer branch of the first foot (fig. 12) 1s very 
short, the inner long and slender; the second foot-jaw 
is smaller, but otherwise does not differ much from 
that of the preceding species; the inner branches of 
the second, third, and fourth pairs (figs. 15, 14) have 
the first joints longer than in curticauda. The third 
foot in the male (Plate LX XIV, fig. 13) is only mode- 
rately spinous, but the inner branch is 3-jointed, and 
has a slender spine attached to the apex of the second 
joint. Fifth foot (fig. 14) small, having both inner and 
outer segments well developed, the inner having four 
marginal sete, the outer one large apical, and several 
minute marginal setz; second joint elongate, ovate, 
5-setose. Length s'srd of an inch (‘77 mm.). 
This species was met with in dredged material 
from several places off the Durham coast :—Hartle- 
pool; Seaham, twenty to thirty fathoms; Hawthorn, 
twenty-seven fathoms. I have found a few examples 
among Copepoda washed from weeds in Ventry Bay, 
Treland, and sent to me by Mr. H. C. Davison.

t. xv, figs. 21—25 (1863). 
Body robust (fig. 15), arcuate; rostrum short, 
. the antennz are only 7-jointed the variation takes place in the flagellum 
or slender terminal portion, which then has three instead of four articu- 
lations.
