The latera are low, and triangular, with somewhat recurved 
apices; whereas the upper latus is almost symmetrical, the apex 
in the ros tral latus is situated near the rostrum, and in the 
carinal latus oppositely, i. e. at the carinal side. A small, sym¬ 
metrical subcarina has the same shape as the rostrum, but is 
much smaller. 
The peduncle is a little more than half as long as the ca- 
pitulum, broad, and laterally feebly compressed. It is covered with 
densely crowded, calcareous scales.

The capitulum is 13 mm long with a width of 1 1 mm, and a 
lateral greater breadth of 5,5 mm. The peduncle is 7 mm long. 
As only one specimen was present in the material, I would not 
damage it more than absolutely necessary, and therefore cannot 
give details as to the anatomy of the animal. 
Two males were present at the usual place, and were visible 
to the naked eye in the female (or hermaphrodite). One of them 
was sacrificed for doser investigation. 
The male in the present species attains a more than usually 
high development (Fig. 3) having a capitulum skeleton of carina, 
terga, scuta, rostrum, and three pairs of latera above the distinet 
peduncle. 
The carina is almost triangular, with rather broad base, and 
does not quite reach the apex of the capitulum ; its umbo is apical,
