ing the inferior angle. The excavation between the first and the 
second tooth comprises about 3 /s of the entire cutting edge. The 
second and the third tooth are armed with denticles on the basal 
parts of their edges, the fourth only at its upper margin. The outer 
parts of the mandible are richly furnished with finer hairs. 
The maxilla has a broad and deep excavation comprising al¬ 
most half the cutting edge. The upper side runs out into a very 
strong, and long spine, and on the edge of the excavation next to 
this spine three large bristles are present, the third, and smallest of 
them near the bottom of the excavation. Below the excavation the 
cutting edge is almost straight, and armed with a crowded double 
row of strong spines. The outer parts of the maxilla are richly 
covered with fine and long hairs. 
In spite of the great series of Heteralepas -species hitherto de- 
scribed we must at all events at present consider the specimens 
here recorded as representatives of a new species, first because of 
the carinal warty protuberance at the transition from the capitulum 
to the peduncle, secondly because the numbers of segments in the 
cirri and the caudal appendages, as well as different smaller feat¬ 
ures of the mouth parts, differ from all other species previously 
known.

The species has only been provisionally described by Pilsbry 
(1912) from the sea near Luzon; but as yet no drawing of the 
species has been published, so that the identification may turn out 
to be incorrect. „The unusual length of the rostrum and fixed 
tergum characterize the species“ and are also seen in the present 
specimens (Fig. 40). The base of the carina is very long, so that 
the characteristic given by Pilsbry again holds good: „The carina 
occupies much more of the carino-rostral wall than the rostrum,
