 Thorax short and stout, the fourth epimerals produced below and 

 acute, first, second, and third truncate. Antennas short (hardly as 

 long as half the height of head), subequal, subulate, extremity mul- 

 tiarticulate. Anterior feet shortest, quite pubescent, fourth joint 

 broad, more than twice as long as the third, and much longer than 

 fifth, the claw minute; ten posterior legs subequal and naked. 

 Caudal stylets long, the first pair reaching very nearly to apex of

Antarctic Seas ; taken from the cavity of a Medusa, near longitude 

 157° east, and latitude 66° south. 



Length, nine lines. The height of the head is greater than half the 

 length of the thorax. The antennary area on the front of the head is 

 small, not half the height of the front. The epimerals are small, and 

 excepting the fourth are truncate. The antennas are short, and the 

 subulate extremity is very closely multiarticulate. The four anterior 

 feet have broad lamellar coxaa ; the next two joints are small, and 

 have not a projecting lower apex; the last joint and claw together 

 are hardly as long as the fourth joint. The six posterior legs are 

 nearly naked and rather short.
