differed from the type in the more slender form of the intermediate 

 and lateral spines of the telson. The specimens before me stand in

 var. dentata than to the typical species.

 besprinkled with minute dark spots. The dorsal surface is marked

 median carina as well as a part of the posterior margin dark red. 

 Anterior and posterior margins of exposed thoracic and abdominal 

 segments light green, the submedian carina; reddish, the intermediate 

 carina: of the abdominal segments partly also reddish. The median 

 tubercles upon the abdominal segments are purple. The telson has 

 the dorsal median crest bluish green, the marginal spines red, the 

 carina; upon these dark purple, and the secondary spinules bluish 

 green. In the basal segment of the uropod the longitudinal carina is 

 green and the spines of its prolongation reddish, the space between 

 the bases of these spines being light blue. The proximal segment of 

 the exopodite is light green and its marginal spines are red, the distal
