CRUSTACEA DECAPO DA—BORRADAILE.

(ii) The rostral horns are wider apart, and show no tendency to converge distally. 
Unfortunately their tips are broken off in the specimen. 
(iii) Each of the meropodites of the legs, including that of the cheliped, bears a 
small spine above at the distal end. 
(iv) There is a sharp spine on the edge of the merognathite of the third maxilli- 
ped, just outside the articulation of the carpopodite. 
It seems probable that the specimen represents a form which is related to, but 
specifically distinct from, P. longimanus, and I am accordingly proposing for it the 
above name. 
Its leno-th is 34 mm.

45. Paramithrax parvus, n. sp. Fig. 15. 
A small Paramithrax, dredged in jp fathoms off the North Cape of New Zealand, 
is probably closely related to P. minor, Filhol, 1888 (Miss. He Campbell, III, ii, p. 356, 
pi. XL, fig. 4), but is clearly of a distinct species. It differs from Filhol’s species in 
the following points :— 
(i) The rostral horns are shorter (about one-sixth the length of the rest of the 
carapace) and broader.
