The abdomen is composed of two segments, the first with three 

 suture lines on either side indicative of other partly coalesced seg- 

 ments. The second or terminal segment is produced to an extremity 

 which is somewhat truncate, with a slight emargination in the 

 middle. On the dorsal surface are two large, elevated tubercles, one 

 on either side . of the median line. The uropoda do not extend 

 beyond the apex of the terminal segment of the abdomen; both 

 branches are similar in shape, posteriorly rounded, but the outer one 

 is shorter, extending only two-thirds the length of the inner branch. 



The legs are all alike, ambulatory. 



Only one specimen was collected by E. A. Andrews at Montego 

 Bay. It was dredged off the bathing beach. 

 Type.— Cat. No. 43349, U.S.N.M. 



As the specimen was completely rolled up into a ball, it was impos- 

 sible to get at the pleopods without injuring it.
