This species closely assimilates to A. ruhricata , but is 
readily distinguished, by the robust form of the animal, 
the shortness of the superior antennae, and the concave 
palm of the second pair of hands. 
In the Catalogue of Amphipoda of the British 
Museum, Mr. Spence Bate, not then having seen a 
specimen has (p. 251), with hesitation, followed Bruze- 
lius in uniting this species with A. podoceroides of 
Rathke. But the specimen from which our figure is 
taken so closely corresponds with that of Kroyer in his 
magnificent work on the Crustacea, &c., of Scandinavia, 
that we do not hesitate to consider our British species 
as being identical with it. As connected with our Fauna 
it was dredged for the first time in the summer of 1861, 
in from seventy to ninety fathoms sixty miles east of 
Shetlands, by the Rev. A. M. Norman and Mr. J. Gr. 
Jeffreys.
