^ 11 til og livoraf den forreste er storst. 4de Par er deri- 
lu °d nedeutil ubevaibnet, men i den bagro Kant ovenfor 
^lidten udtrukket i ct skarpt Hjorne ; ovenfor dette viser 
'^'t en halvmaaneformig Udrandning, som lader det folgende 
ar ganske frit Dette ligesom dot folgende Par er for- 
1'oldsvis temmelig stort, tvelappet, med den bagre Lap 
"^dentil noget udtrukket. Sidste Par er betydelig mindre. 
Lo 3 forreste Bagkropssegmenter har Sidepladerne 
U(,( lentil udtrukne i et skarpt-vinklet Hjorne. Paa 3die 
Segment viser den bagre Rand til liver Side et dybt vinkel- 
f(> rruigt Indsnit. 
Af 0ine kunde intetsomhelst Spor beimerkes hos det 
indfangede Dvr. 
Iste Par Folere er af en ganske ualmindelig Lamgde 
Se L adskilligt lrengere end hele Legemet. Al Skaftets 
•' Led er det lste storst, det 3die meget lidet. Svobon er 
S 'tn'deles tynd, traadformig og over dobbelt saa lang som 
Skaftet. 
2det Par Folere er nepp halvt saa lange som lste 
ar °g har Skaftets nmstsidste Led storst og Svoben om- 
tren t af Skaftets Lcengde. 
Muuddelene og lste Podpar kunde ikke noiere under- 
M> g°s paa det eneste foreliggende Exemplar. 
2det Podpar (Pig. 1 a) er temmelig kraftigt byggct, 
■nod 4de Led nedad forbenget i en smal tungeformig og 
"’istebesat Lap. Haanden er meget stor, stserkt sarnmen- 
kiykt tra Siderne og betydeligt udvidet mod Enden, som er 
'listen tvaert afkuttet. Grriberanden er nsesten lige og til 
lver Side bevaebnet med en regelmmssig Rad af 8 Torner; 
ll(J dentil begnendses den af et ganske kort tandfonnigt Frem- 
spriug. 
Do folgende Fodpar er alle omtrent af ens Laengde 
“g besatte med korte Burster. De 3 bagerste Parer noget 
lller ® I'obuste end de 2 foregaaende og bar alle Hofteleddet 
idadeforniigt udvidet og af regelmmssig oval Form. 
Bagkroppens Vedhamg synes ikke i nogen vassentlig 
1 a d at skille sig fra samme hos foregaaende Skegt. 
Lyrets Farve er hvidagtig, uden tydelig Pigmentering. 
Laengden af det undersogte Exemplar er omtrent 6 mm , 
' 11 ^torrelse. som ingen af de 2 hidtil bekjendte Arter paa 
lan gt mer opnaar.

directed forward, and of which the anterior is largest. The 
4th pair, on the other hand, are unarmed below, but drawn 
out posteriorly, above the middle, to a sharp corner; im- 
mediately above the latter, occurs a lunate emaigination, 
which leaves the following pair quite free. Both this pair 
and the next are comparatively rather large, bilobular, 
with the posterior lobe somewhat produced below. The 
last pair are considerably smaller than any of the preced- 
ing ones. 
The 3 anterior abdominal segments have the lateral 
plates produced below to an acute-angled corner. On the 
3rd segment, the posterior margin exhibits on either side 
a deep, angular incision. 
Of eyes, no trace could be detected in the recently 
taken animal. 
The 1st pair of antennae attain a truly remarkable 
length, considerably exceeding even that of the body itself. 
Of the 3 joints of the peduncle, the 1st is the largest, the 
3rd very small. The flagellum is exceedingly slender, fili- 
form, and more than twice as long as the peduncle. 
The 2nd pair of antennae attain scarcely half the length 
of the 1st, have the penultimate joint of the peduncle 
largest, and the flagellum about as long as the peduncle. 
The oral appendages and the 1st pair of legs could 
not be closely examined in the only specimen before us. 
The 2nd pair of legs are rather' powerful in structure 
(tic. 1 a), with the 4th joint produced below to a narrow, 
linguiform, bristle-bearing lobe. The hand is very large, 
o-reatly compressed from the sides, and considerably dilated 
towards the extremity — well-nigh transversely truncate. The 
palmar margin is almost straight, and on either side armed 
with a regular series of 8 spines; below, it is marked off 
by an exceedingly short dentiform projection. 
The succeeding pairs of legs are all about equal in 
length, and beset with short bristles. The 3 posterior pairs 
are a trifle more robust than the 2 preceding ones, and 
have all the basal joint lamelliform-dilated and of a regular 
oval form. 
The abdominal appendages would not appear to deviate 
essentially from those in the preceding genus. 
Colour of the animal whitish, without distinct pigmenta- 
Length of the specimen examined about 6 mm , a size 
far outreaehing that attained by either of the 2 species 
as yet known. 
Occurrence. — One specimen only of this form was 
taken on the Expedition (last cruise), in the open sea, be- 
tween Finmark and Beeren Eiland (Stat. 286), at a depth 
of 447 fathoms. This Station belonged to the cold area.
