gg 4 CRUSTACEA. 



second joint much the longest, flagellum terete, setae verticillate, 

 slender, and slightly longer than the joints ; inferior pair a little 

 the shorter, base much longer than flagellum and also exceeding in 

 length the base of the superior pair, third and fourth joints sub- 

 equal. Hand of first pair very small, obovate, margin hirsute, 

 finger minute, and articulated to the hand below the apex. Hand 

 of second pair oblong, subelliptical, back much flattened, densely 

 hirsute below, palm not excavate, finger rather large. Feet of 

 third and fourth pairs short ; posterior six subequal, the fifth pair a 

 little the smallest, setae short. 

 Female? — Setae of antennae very nearly at right angles with the 

 joints. Hand -of second pair of moderate size, long obovate, apex 

 sparingly oblique, finger short, shutting against lateral surface of 

 hand. Stylets of second pair short ; posterior pair long, simple, the 

 branch subcylindrical and furnished with short setae.

Bay of Islands, New Zealand ; found along the shores between low 

 and high water level. 



Male. — Length, four and a half lines. Second joint of superior 

 antennae full twice the length of the third. Flagellum evenly terete 

 and joints oblong, the setae forming a whorl at apex of each joint. 

 Flagellum of inferior pair a little longer than third or fourth basal 

 joint, hairs as in superior pair. Hand of first pair with the apex 

 rounded, not longer than preceding joint, which is a little narrower 

 and is hirsute below. Hand of second pair about twice longer than 

 broad, and having the finger articulated with its apex, the preceding 

 joint transverse, clasping base of hand, yet but little prolonged below 

 and hirsute; the next preceding subtriangular, with the apical the 

 broadest side of the triangle ; this side has near centre an angle, and 

 the lower apex is acute. The first joint of fifth pair of feet is rather 

 narrow ; of the two following much broader. The first pair of stylets 

 extends a little beyond the second pair. The stylets of the last pair 

 were broken off in the specimen examined.
