fig. of p. 4, fig. 3). The marsupium contains numerous eggs, at all 
events 200—300; the diametre of the eggs is 0.8 mm. 
The pleopoda are well developed, with abt. 14 joints in the long 
rami. The inferior hind corners of the metasome segments are 
rounded, and the length of the metasome is abt. Vs of the diametre 
of the globe. 
The urosome is very short, possibly with only two segments 
(see above, under the genus), with first segment twice as long as 
the second. The two pairs of uropoda are long, narrow; the inner 
rami are very short, spiniform, the outer rami acute. The first pair 
is somewhat longer than the second pair, with the outer ramus a 
little shorter than the peduncle; in the second pair the outer ramus 
is abt. iVs time as long as the peduncle. 
Size. The diametre of the globe is abt. 9—11 mm. 
Colour. The specimen was (in spirits) quite colourless, but 
the eyes have kept their black colour. 
Remarks. The specific name indicates the great resemblance 
to Mimonectes. 
The species has a very remarkable position within the family; 
in spite of the globular shape it is especially on account of the 
quite degenerated mandibles without palp, the helmet-shaped maxil- 
lipedes and the reduced urosome most nearly allied to Chevreuxiella 
and Thoriella.
