Forekomst. Et enkelt Exemplar, cm fuldt udviklet 
. an ! af denne Art tog os under Expeditionens 2det Togt 
* Ha vet XV. af Fin market! (Stat. 1 95) paa et Dyb af 107 
avn<; - Stationen tilhorer den tcmpererede Area, og Arten 
an derfor, trods Pindesfedets nordlige Beliggenhed, heller 
ke med Sikkerhed erklseres for en arktisk Form. 
Occurrence. — 1 y one example of this species, a 
fully developed male, was taken on the Expedition (2nd 
cruise), north-west of Finmark (Stat. 1 95), at a depth of 
107 fathoms. The Station was located in the temperate 
area ; and the species cannot therefore, notwithstanding the 
northern locality in which it occurred, with certainty be 
regarded as an Arctic form.

Specific Character. — Body somewhat elongate, with 
anterior epimera about equal in height to body. Lateral 
corners of head pointed. Lateral plates of 3rd abdominal 
segment obtusely rounded posteriorly. Eyes small, oval, 
with a dark pigment. Antenna) powerfully developed, more 
than half the length of body, and posteriorly furnished 
with long bristles in pectinate arrangement; 1st pair with 
1st joint of peduncle as long as head, the 2 succeeding 
joints of equal length, secondary flagellum very small, 
scarcely more than one-third as long as 1st joint ot fla- 
gellum, 1 and uni-articulate; 2nd pair with flagellum some- 
what longer than last joint of peduncle, eight-jointed. Sec- 
ond pair of legs in male very large, with greatly swollen 
oblongo-ovate hand, not exhibiting a distinctly defined 
palmar margin, posteriorly however furnished with a dense 
armature of in part ciliate bristles. Remaining legs of 
usual structure. Last pair of caudal stylets with elongate, 
cylindric stem. Colour whitish, with dark shadings. Length 
Qmm 
Locality. — Stats. 137, 280. 
Remarks. — This species approximates closest P. me- 
gacheir Boeck, but differs from that animal in having a 
somewhat robuster form of body, larger epimera, the rudi- 
mentary character distinguishing the secondary flagellum of 
its 1st pair of an ten me, as also in the lateral plates ol 
the 3rd abdominal segment not being angular, but obtusely 
rounded posteriorly. 
Description. — The body (see PI. XVII, fig. 1) is some- 
what elongate, though on the whole a trifle more robust 
than in its nearest related congener, P. megacheir Boeck.
