HALE—AUSTRALIAN CUMACEA 79 
Third maxillipeds stout; basis geniculate, less than twice as long as remain- 
ing segments together, and expanded externally at apex, the lobe not reaching 
much beyond level of apex of ischium and with stout plumose setae; merus ex- 
panded externally, the apex of lobe attaining level of outer anterior angle of 
carpus, which is widest and subtruneate apically; carpus longer than dactylus, 
widest anteriorly, more than half as long as merus or carpus, which are subequal 
in length. 

Fig. 7. Cyclaspis mollis, type female; A, lateral view; B, carapace and anterior pedigerous 
somites from above; C, anterior portion of carapace; D, chromatophores (A and B, X 19; 
C, X 45; D, X 120). 
First peraeopods long, merus reaching level of antennal tooth; basis longer 
than rest of limb, with a plumose seta at outer apical angle and a tiny tooth at 
inner angle; carpus, propodus and dactylus subequal in length, merus a little 
shorter; dactylus stout, with several long terminal setae. 
Second peraeopods slender, with basis about as long as remaining joints 
together; merus and carpus of almost equal length, each about as long as pro- 
podus and dactylus together; propodus four-fifths as long as dactylus, which 
has the three apical spines unusually weak, the longest almost as long as dactylus 
and with tip slightly curved (fig. 8, D); basis, ischium and merus with long, 
plumose setae but no spines; carpus with a subapical slender spine. 
Third to fifth peraeopods richly furnished with long, stout setae (fig. 8, E 
and F’), those of carpus and propodus reaching well beyond apex of dactylus; 
basis stout, in third and fourth legs as long as rest of limb, in fifth shorter ; merus 
in all three not very markedly shorter than carpus and longer than propodus. 
Uropods long, the peduncle longer than fifth pleon somite and about twice
