 outer edge, basal spine very narrow. subulate, smooth; basal por- 

 tion of the flagellum unnsually thick and massive. Terminal joint 

 of Ist pair of maxillæ very small and narrow, of the 2nd pair on 

 the contrary imusually large and broad. 7th pair of legs almost of 

 the same length as the preceeding pair. Telson with two parallel 

 serrated crests above, apex bluntly lanceolate; subapical spines 

 large, widely surpassing the apex. Inner lamella of the uropods 

 shorter than the outer, the last surpassing the tip of the telson.
