This species approaches captitalis very closely and should perhaps be identi- 
fied with that species, but there are several minor points of difference. In capt- 
talis the eighth segment of the first antenna is free, whereas here it is fused with 
the ninth and tenth; the inner lobe of the maxillule has a single relatively short 
unarmed seta in place of the longer plumose seta and small spur of Giesbrecht’s 
species; the exopod of the second antenna is unarmed.
