The first two pairs of pereiopoda are simple, with very short 
dactyli. 
The generic name Danaella was made in honour of the ship 
“Dana” which has taken the specimens.

Description of $ ovig. from St. 2401 (J' is unknown). The 
skin is thick, tough, coriaceous. 
The head very little, in lateral view almost triangular (with the 
acute end turned above) and partly concealed under the side plates. 
There is a very little rostrum. The eyes small, ovate, black. An- 
tenna 1 a little longer than ant. 2, almost as long as the fourth 
side plate is deep. The first peduncular joint as long as the 
two next joints combined and not much heavier. 12 flagellar joints. 
In the peduncle of ant. 2 the two distal joints are of equal size. 
The flagellum has in the left ant. 8 joints, in the right one more, 
for the two first joints in the right ant. are in the left coalesced 
to one. On the oral parts see above. 
The first pereiopod has the side plate very little; the second 
joint broad, ovate. The metacarpus ovate, somewhat shorter than 
the preceding joint; the dactylus very little, triangular. The second 
pereiopod has the side plate somewhat curvate and longer than the 
first pair; the limb is long, narrow, with the metacarpus only half 
as long as the carpus. The dactylus is very short. The 5 last pairs of 
pereiopoda have about the same shape (except the side plates; see 
below); they are short, with the long curvate dactyli about as long 
as the metacarpus. The second joint is broader in the 5.—7. pairs 
than in the 3.—4. pairs. In the 3.—5. pairs (but not in the two 
last pairs) the metacarpi have two little spines at the distal end. 
The third side plate is curved triangular, much larger than the 
second; the fore margin seems to fit totally the hind edge of the 
second joint of the second pereiopod. The fourth side plate is 
almost quadratic with rounded corners; it is much larger than the
