CRUSTACEA. 



parce longiores, flagello fere triplo longiore quam basis, articulis trans- 

 versis, processibus rninutis triangulatis supra ornate. Oculi reniformes. 

 Pedes lmi 2dis breviores, manu oblongd, apiee oblique* truncatd, mar- 

 ginibus fere parallelis, digiio parvulo ; 2di 5-artwulati, articulo ultimo 

 elongate styliformi, acuto; 7 mi Qtis paulo breviores. tegmentum abdo- 

 minis antepenultimum postice acutum. 



Antennae subequal, rather stout, not half as long as the body ; the 

 superior pair having the flagellum very short jointed and fringed 

 below with short, obtuse processes; the inferior somewhat the 

 longer, and flagellum having minute triangular processes along the 

 upper margin. Eyes reniform. Anterior feet shorter than second 

 pair, hand oblong, apex oblique, margins nearly parallel, finger 

 short; second pair five-jointed, the last joint long styliform. The 

 seventh pair shorter than sixth. Antepenult segment of abdomen 

 acute behind. 



Plate 62, fig. 3 a, animal, enlarged ; b, mandible ; c, d, maxillae ; 

 e, maxillipeds ; /, g, portions of superior and inferior antennae. 



Taken from the stomach of a fish, in the Antarctic seas. 



Length, nine lines. The processes fringing the superior antenna? 

 are obtuse and fleshy; otherwise the joints, which are very short 

 transverse, are nearly naked. The processes on the margin of the 

 inferior pair are attached only to alternate joints ; they are acute at 

 apex. The last joint of the second pair of feet is slender and pointed, 

 exceeding the preceding joint in length. The first and second pairs 

 are pubescent below. The third and fourth pairs are nearly concealed 

 by the epimerals. The basal joint of fifth to seventh pairs is very 

 large and serrulate behind. The claw is short, not half as long as the 

 preceding joint. The maxillipeds terminate in a very stout spine or 

 claw, and the joints are hairy along the inner margin, as well as at 

 apex. The palpus of the mandible has a few setae towards apex, 

 which gradually increase in length to the apical, which is longest, 

 though none are one-fifth as long as the palpus. 



The four anterior epimerals on each side are very broad and sub- 

 rectangular, with rounded angles ; the fifth is two-thirds as broad as 

 the fourth, and the following are a little smaller.
