HALE—AUSTRALIAN CUMACEA 111 
Basis of second peraeopods shorter than rest of limb; ischium and merus 
each with an onter plumose subapical seta; merus without spine, not as long as 
carpus and propodus together, and much shorter than propodus and dactylus 
together ; carpus with inner angle produced as tiny tooth and with three slender 
distal spines, the outermost much the longest; dactylus relatively long, but not 
twice as long as propodus, inner edge serrate; longest terminal spine not quite as 
long as the dactylus. 

Fig. 34. Cyolaspis nitida, paratype male; A to C, first, second and third peraeopods; D, 
uropod; D1, apex of exopod of uropod; D2, endopod of uropod (A to D, * 67; Bland D2, x 134; 
D1, X 270). 
Fossorial legs with setae relatively well-developed (ischium three, merus 
one, carpus three and propodus one) ; the propodal seta is about twice as long 
as daetylus; merus and carpus subequal in length; basis of third peraeopod as 
long as rest of limb. 
Pedunele of uropod twice as long as telsonie somite, and one and two-third 
times length of subequal rami; inner edges with a series of long plumose setae 
for whole length, the distal five shorter, more slender and serrate rather than 
plumose; below setae is a row of spinules; exopod with inner marein serrate and 
set with seven plumose setae at middle third, apically with two mucrones; endo- 
pod with inner margin serrate (as in fig. 34, D*) with five slender spines on 
proximal half and two spines, simpler, stouter and more downbent, on posterior 
half; apical third narrow, unarmed and with acute tip.
