 yellowish, or flesh tinge ; antenna? and scales, eyes, feet, and posterior 

 part of body from the fourth abdominal segment, transparent wine- 

 yellow, or burnt sienna, dotted with brown ; extremity of caudal seg- 

 ment and lamella?, purple. Beak acute and the margin either side in 

 upper view slightly convex, then concave as it approaches the eyes, 

 and over the base of the ocular peduncle there is a low angle. In 

 profile the carapax a little longer than broad. Inner antenna? with 

 the first joint very broad, and the outer apex triangular and acute; 

 the two following joints quite short, not oblong, and the beak extending 

 about to the apex of the second ; exteriorly and from below the first 

 joint, a long curving tooth arises, which extends forward exterior to 

 the first joint, as far as base of second joint ; second and third joints 

 hairy within, shorter flagellum the stouter, and three-fourths as 

 long as longer or inner; it is divided near apex; inner flagellum 

 longer than carapax and hairy below. Second antenna? about as long 

 as body; basal scale quite broad; a tooth below apex on outer side; 

 apex projecting beyond the tooth, obtuse. Carpus of second feet 

 short, obconical; apical margin in part acutely dentate. Penult 

 abdominal segment acute on either side of base of caudal appendages.
