one lateral. Exopod of uropods with five or 
six movable spines along their outer margin. 
Basal portion of uropods elongated into two 
spines, inner longer than outer, with a dis- 
tinct, rounded lobe near base of each spine 
(Fig. 6). First abdominal appendage shown 
in Figure if. Body of specimens an opaque 
white, eyestalks yellow with a very black 
cornea. Abdominal and thoracic somites and 
carapace with large, white pigment cells dis- 
tributed at random over their surface. Telson, 
seen from above, nearly transparent so that 
tissue projecting into it can be easily seen and 
produces the pattern shown in Figure 6. Spec- 
imens range in size from 20 to 47 mm. in 
length. 
DISCUSSION: A small female specimen, 20 
mm. long, was collected by Mr. Kenji Ego 
Fig. 7. Squilla alba Bigelow. a,b,c,d,e. Right first, 
second, third, fourth, fifth thoracic appendages; /, 
right first abdominal appendage of female. 
at Kawaihae, Hawaii, in a night light station. 
This is a very striking species, as the color 
of the specimens immediately attracts atten- 
tion. Its shape is also somewhat peculiar, the 
carapace and exposed portion of the thorax 
being equal in length and together making 
up nearly 0.44 of the total length of the body. 
The entire surface of the body is smooth and 
polished, interrupted occasionally by distinct 
carinae. The lateral margins of the fifth thor- 
acic somite with their long, anteriorly directed 
spines and rounded posterior lobes are also 
characteristic of this species.
