14. Nematoscelis megalops, G. O. Sars 



Nematoscelis megalops, G. O. Sars, op. cit., p. 127, Pl. xxiii, 

 figs. 5-to; Pl. xxiv. 



Localities. — Stat. 1639, 1 small spécimen; stat. 1844, 

 6 females; stat. 1849, 4 females; stat. 1874, 4 females. 



Rfmarks. — Sars had only seen females, and the 14 large 

 spécimens just enumerated belong to the same sex. Recently 

 the Copenhagen Muséum received a good number of spécimens 

 gathered in the boréal part of the Atlantic ; the majority are 

 females, but some of them are maies. In the females the 

 rostrum is very long and exceedingly narrow ; in the maies the 

 front end of the carapace is, seen from above, shaped as a low 

 triangle with the apex sharp but its angle obtuse, and without 

 any slender rostral process. — The small spécimen from 

 stat. 1639 measures slightly more than ii mm ; it is easily 

 recognised as belonging to this species by having the terminal 

 joint of the elongate legs short and the strong spines inserted 

 not only on this but on the distal lower angle of the penul- 

 timate joint; it has no latéral marginal denticles on* the 

 carapace.
