Discovery St 158 (see K.H. Barnard 1932), | male and 2 females 
(17-18 mm). Only the type material is known. 
DISTRIBUTION. Known only from the type locality (South Georgia). 
DESCRIPTION. Biology: not pelagic, otherwise unknown. 
Rostrum powerful. 
Antennae short. Antenna | shorter than antenna 2; flagellum 11- 
articulate; accessory flagellum article 2 present. Antenna 2 peduncle 
(articles 3—5) longer than flagellum; article 3 short,about as long as 
broad; article 4 longer than article 5. 
Epistome curved (convex) and smooth. Epistomal plate (medial 
keel) not produced. Mouthparts not elongate or pointed. 
Mandible incisor lateral; incisor toothed; left lacinia mobilis 
present, powerful, laterally expanded, not conical. 
Maxilla | palp 2-articulate, rectangular, apex not reaching beyond 
outer plate; outer plate distally rectangular; ST in two parallel rows, 
first marginal and second submarginal, ST first row with 6 setae 
(ST1—5, ST7), ST 1 conspicuously enlarged, gap between ST 5 and 
ST 7 present; ST A-C present, part of first row, ST D absent; inner 
plate without a well developed shoulder, setae pappopectinate. 
Maxilla 2 gaping and geniculate, outer plate setae with distal 
hooks present; distal cleft absent; inner plate setae row A covering 
about two thirds of the margin, clearly separated from row B, row A 
setae pappopectinate; row B setae proximally simple, distally with 
cusps present; row C present; row D present, expanded, row elon- 
gated towards and beyond row A, with many small cusps distally. 
Maxilliped palp 4-articulate, article 2 distally unproduced, dacty- 
lus distally simple (pointed); inner plate with 2 nodular setae; medial 
setae-row present, not reduced, transverse, setae pectinate; distal 
setae-row absent; inner setae-row absent; outer plate outer setae- 
row present, marginal, setae attached normally, setae short and 
strongly curved upwards (hooks); inner setae-row present, well 
developed, setae short simple and slender, proximally parallel to 
outer, distally transverse; distal setae-group present, setae attached 
in a deep hollow, setae short simple. 
Labrum elongate; lobes asymmetrical, left lobe weakly reduced. 
Labium distally narrowing. 
Coxal plates and basis of pereopods smooth. Coxae 1-3 contigu- 
ous. 
Pereopod | coxa deeper than basis; propodus subrectangular. 
Pereopod 2 general appearance like pereopod 1, ischium not 
elongate, ratio length:breadth not exceeding 1.5, ischium distal 
posterior margin with plumose setae; propodus subrectangular, 
palm absent. 
Pereopod 4 coxa posteroventral lobe medium sized, not reaching 
the base of the 7" pereon segment; basis anterior margin without 
long setae, posterior margin with long setae, plumose setae on distal 
anterior and posterior margins; ischium without plumose setae on 
posterior distal margin. 
Pereopod 6 basis posteriorly expanded, expansion conspicuous, 
rounded posteriorly, with a row of long plumose setae. 
Pereopod 7 basis anterior margin straight, distally rounded, no 
medial row of setae. 
Oostegites on pereopods 2-5. 
Pleonites 1—3 dorsally smooth. 
Urosome: articulation between urosome segments 2 and 3 present. 
Uropod | peduncle longer than rami, outer ramus equal to inner. 
Uropod 2 peduncle longer than rami, outer ramus equal to inner. 
Uropod 3 peduncle longer than rami, outer ramus |-articulate, outer 
ramus equal to inner. 
Telson longer than broad, longer than peduncle uropod 3, cleft; 
apically open, no submarginal setae on apex of each lobe. 
J. BERGE, W. VADER AND A. GALAN 
MALE. Pereopod 2 propodus equally sized in males and females. 
Urosome ordinary (similar to females). 
REMARKS. This species is easily distinguished from all congeners 
by its long rostrum, but it has some affinities with Stegocephalus 
inflatus Kr@yer, 1842. However, the morphology of both the 
mouthparts and of the basis of pereopod 7 strongly suggests that this 
species should be retained in the genus Phippsiella.
