276 DR. J. G. DE MAN ON THE PODOPHTHALMOUS 
antenne are somewhat longer than the body, and the joints 
of the flagella are naked. Their peduncles are much shorter than 
those of the antennules, being quite as long as the rostrum; the 
basal scales are much longer than the peduncles, and even 
project a little beyond the peduncles of the inner antenne. 
The external maxillipeds (fig. 7) are a little shorter than the 
peduncles of the outer antenne ; they much resemble those of 
Palemonella orientalis (Dana, I. c. pl. xxxvin. fig. 4d), as 
regards the relative length and breadth of the joints. The 
terminal joint is a little shorter than the penultimate, and the 
last two joints together are a little longer than the ante- 
penultimate joint, which is but little broader than the penulti- 
mate, being much less dilated than in the typical species of the 
genus, farpilius lutescens, Dana. 
The anterior legs are slender, and, with the distal halves of 
their carpopodites, project beyond the antennal scales ; the carpo- 
podite, which is gradually somewhat thickened towards its distal 
end, is a little shorter than the arm, and but little longer than the 
hand; whereas in Harpiliws inermis, Miers, it is about twice as 
long as the hand, The palin isa little shorter than the hairy fingers. 
The somewhat unequal chelipedes of the second pair are closely 
similar to those of Anchistia aurantiaca, Dana, and are much 
longer and larger than the anterior legs, being almost twice as long 
as the carapace. The meropodites are a little longer than the 
ischiopodites, and nearly twice as long as the carpopodites, which 
are very short, still shorter than those of Anch. aurantiaca. The 
hands (fig. 9) much resemble those of the latter species. The palm 
is rounded above and below, andis much swollen at its base and - 
thicker than the carpopodite, the difference between both joints 
being greater than in Anchistia aurantiaca; the palm towards 
its distal end being slightly compressed. The fingers are strongly 
compressed and are a little longer than half the length of the 
palm, but shorter than half the length of the whole hand. Their 
tips are pointed, somewhat curved and hairy, and have thin inner 
edges. The mobile finger is scarcely longer than the other, and 
is armed at the base of its inner edge with two or three teeth ; 
the index, on the contrary, presents eight or nine teeth of 
equal size at the base of its inner edge, much smaller, how- 
ever, than the teeth of the mobile finger. The remaining part 
of the mner edges is sharp and unarmed. The fingers of both 
hands are arraed with such teeth, whereas in Harpiliws inermis
