10. Gnathophausia longispina, n. sp. 



General form of the body rather like the same in G. zota. 

 but somewhat more stender: Rostrum very long aud narrow, nearly 

 twice the length of the carapax. with densely serrate crests. Poste- 

 rior dorsal spine also very long. surpassing the 4th postabdominal 

 segment, finely serrate both at Th*- dorsal and lateral margins. 

 Supraorbital spine strougly developed as in G. sota: antennal spine 

 obsolete, branchiostegal very large, triangular. and directed straight 

 outward. 5 anterior postabdominal segments, dorsally slightly keeled. 

 and provided with small denticles in the middle of the posterior 

 margin; posterior lobe of the epimera. acuminate. on the 2nd seg- 

 ment, remarkably produced. Last segment with two epimeral den- 

 ticles on every side. the apical spines rather elongated, mucroni- 

 form. Eves claviform. rather small. Antennal scale very large r 

 the outer margin denticulate. and produced in a very long and 

 stout mucroniform spine. serrate at both margins; apical lobe very 

 narrow, only reaching the middle of the terminal spiiie. Telson 

 lingviform with densely spinous margins, the terminal spines short 

 connected by a semilunar serra ted la mella. Uropods. little shorter.
