Clave]la sciatherica n. sp. 
The Appendages, all paired, are (Fig. 8): 
The Antennae, or Antennules, are two-jointed, the joints being of 
equal length. The terminal joint is tipped with three long, tapering, flexible, 
sensitive rami. 
The 2nd Antennae are uniramose, and three-jointed. There is a smooth 
prominence where an exopodite is absent. The antenna is rounded at the 
apex, and tipped with two spines, with a shorter spine on the outer border. 
The Mandibles appear to be absent, and considering their great degenera¬ 
tion in the female this is not unlikely, though they have been figured in other 
species. The point cannot be put to the proof without sacrificing the speci¬ 
mens.

Fig. 8. Glavella sciatherica, <$. Some of the appendages. The antennule. antenna, 1st maxilla, 
2nd maxilla, and maxillipede. 
The lsf Maxillae are bipartite, and do not possess a palp. Each ramus 
terminates in a delicate point which projects outwards and forwards immedi¬ 
ately below the rostrum (omitted for the sake of clearness from Fig. 7). 
The 2nd Maxillae are close to the mouth tube and almost circular in 
general outline. They bear a strong resemblance to those of Lernaeopoda, 
and are similarly furnished with a powerful incurved claw at the base which 
flexes into a protecting sheath. 
The Maxillipedes are close behind the 2nd maxillae which they do not 
resemble, as they do in Lernaeopoda, but are somewhat like a femur in outline, 
having a rounded proximal end, and a slightly notched or cleft distal end, 
which is furnished with a small abruptly curved inturned hook. The maxilli- 
pedes are the organs of attachment to the female.
