The mandible in our species has a three-jointed palpus, a den- 

 tate apex, the usual setae below, and a molar prominence. The 

 maxillae are like those of Gammarus and Amphithoe. The maxil- 

 lipeds have a spine or claw at apex. The superior antennae are the 

 shortest. No claw exists at the extremity of the seventh pair of legs.

Superior antennae not half as long as the body, terete ; inferior pair 

 nearly twice the longer, base twice as long as base of superior, 

 flagellum about twenty-one-jointed, twice as long as base, setae very 

 short. Seventh pair of feet as long as body, styliform at extre- 

 mity; four anterior feet unequal, hands similar; hand of first pair 

 smallest; of second pair of moderate size, broad subovate, nearly 

 naked, obliquely truncate, palm oblique, very slightly excavate or 

 nearly straight. Remaining pairs having the first joint rather 

 narrow.
