“TERRA NOVA” EXPEDITION. 
of antennule ; ischiocerite outreacliing, by about half of its length, antennular stalk. 
Fixed and movable spines of antenna well developed, the latter a little longer than 
the former, and both a little outreacliing the rostrum. Antenna a little longer than 
carapace including the rostrum. Third maxilliped outreacliing rostrum by its last two 
joints, the last joint being a little longer than the preceding. Legs of the first pair 
unequal: that on right side, which is the larger, outreacliing rostrum by its wrist and 
hand. Palm square, fingers nearly as long as the palm, fixed finger with a row of 
about ten blunt teeth. Inside of palm covered with fine pearly granules except near 
the wrist, and a patch of similar granules on the outside at the base of the fixed 
finger. Above, sides of palm slope to a sharp edge ; lower side Hat, with on outer side 
a sharp keel, continued along fixed finger. Smaller hand resembling larger, but more 
slender. Both sparsely hairy. Second leg outreacliing rostrum by its hand, whose 
fingers are a little longer than the palm, and hairy all over the outer side. In third 
and fourth legs, propodite with some spines below in short transverse rows, more 
numerous on fourth leg than on third, and at the end a tuft of hairs, the dactylopodite 
having two longitudinal rows of spines and a sharp end-claw. In last leg only the 
distal two spine-rows on the propodite remain, hair-tuft longer, and broadened 
dactylopodite bites against a process of end of propodite, so that a clumsy subchela 
exists. Abdomen smooth. In male, each pleuron ends in a sharp point, and third to 
sixth bear each a spine on the fore edge. In female, pleura are broader but have a 
sharply cut hinder angle, except on sixth segment, and bear some hairs. Endopodite 
of the uropod with one, and exopodite with two keels ; endopodite with about half a 
dozen spines on its outer edge and the same number on its keel ; exopodite with the 
same arrangement on its outer edge and outer keel, but its inner keel smooth. 
Telson with, in its basal part, two marginal and four dorsal spines, in its distal part 
on each side two marginal spines, and on the broad, rounded end a group of three 
small spines on each side and a longer median spine.

Closely related to V. nitidus (A. M.-Edw.), 1880, but differs in that (1) the 
tennal scale is only as long as the eye, and broader than in L. nitidus; (2) the
