Lernaeopoda globosa n. sp . 
developed exopodite or palp which is jointed and tipped with three short 
spines, one of which is somewhat longer than the other two. The endopodite 
is tripartite at the distal end, one ramus being terminal, and the other two 
on the inner margin. Each ramus ends in a long slightly mammillated spine, 
and the conformation recalls the male rather than the female of L. scyllicola. 
Fig. 3, Lernaeopoda globosa, the appendages continued. A. the distal ends of the second 
maxillae in front view, from a flattened preparation, so that the lower portions of the discs 
are pressed over one another and appear to overlap. B. the distal end of a second maxilla 
in side view with bulla half attached. C. the maxillipede. b. bulla; d. disc; p. prominence 
joining the bulla to the centre of the disc; b.j. basal joint; t.j. terminal joint; s 1 . spine (specific); 
«s 2 . spine in same position as hook in L. scyllicola', m. muscle. 
The 2nd Maxillae (Figs. 1, 3 A and 3 B) are nearly as long as the body, 
slender, cylindrical, bent sharply half way along their length, and expanded 
at the distal ends into a large sucker-like organ, the disc. They are the organs 
of attachment to the host. The two are partly in contact with one another, 
and partly fused to a minute bulla or button , which is almost vestigial in this 
species. In detaching the parasites it is very difficult not to leave the bulla
