margin, row of small spines on inferodistal angle; 5th segment as long, slightly narrower, 7 groups of setae or spine plus setae superiorly; 3 sets of setae inferiorly. Flagellum as long as 5th segment, of 11 segments, not noticeably lanceolate.

Mouthparts. First Maxillae: Inner plate has simple plumose terminal seta, palp has about 7 short stout spines on end and inner distal margin, about 4 setae. Mandible: Palp 1st segment about ⅘ length 2nd; 3rd about ⅔ length 2nd; 2 setae on end of 2nd, 4 on end of 3rd and 1 half along inner margin. Maxilliped; Inner plate reaches ½ along merus, has 3 spines and several setae distally. Outer reaches ½ along carpus, has 6 short spines and about 6 setae on inner margin. Fewer setae down carpus surface, 1 on carpus outer margin at ⅔, 7 or 8 short setae near propod outer margin; dactylos finely combed on inner margin; setation otherwise as in L. aequabilis; carpus inner margin twice length merus outer, carpus width ½ length; propod almost as long as merus, width ⅓ length, dactylos about ⅔ propod length, small terminal nail.

Gnathopods. First: Small but hardly significant differences from L. aequabilis in proportion; longer setae distally on basos posterior margin, no setae on propod anterior surface but number across posterior surface in palmar spine region; 2 palmar spines, 3 across inner knob; 4 teeth on dactylos inner margin; propod anterior margin is proximally trenched with double margin where it bends back on basos. This is also present in Gn. 2, absent in Gn. 1 in L. aequabilis and barely indicated in Gn. 2 in L. aequabilis. Sideplate has seta and more pronounced posterodistal notch than in L. aequabilis. Second: Sideplate posterodistally notched, the slight proportional differences from L. aequabilis of no great significance. Palm evenly convex throughout, palmar spines as in Gn. 1; anteroproximal trench in propod as in Gn. 1; 6 small setae on dactylos surface above the 7 teeth of inner margin. Gills simple, single, as long as basos.

Peraeopods. First: Sideplate ovate, convexly rounded ventrally and not narrowed much. Basos margins quite strongly setose, width ⅙ length, ischium ⅙ basos length, merus ½ basos, a few fine setae on margins; carpus ⅓ basos length, a few fine setae posteriorly; propod slightly more than ½ basos length, about 6 sets of 1 long and 1 short fine seta posteriorly; dactylos about ⅗ propod length. Second: Sideplate subrectangular, distal width about ¾ length, 5 or so fine serrations and setae on posterior margin. Third: Small ovate sideplate has a small posterodistal notch and seta. Basos ovate, margins both convex, distinctly narrowing proximally, 8 spines along anterior margin, 2 or 3 on angle; posterior margin has about 11 serrations each with small seta; merus has groups of 2 or 3 spines on anterior margin; other slighter differences from L. aequabilis Fourth: Sideplate subrectangular, small posterodistal notch and seta. Basos proximally narrowing, margins convex; anterior has 7 spines on distal portion, 2 or 3 on angle; posterior has about 21 serrations with seta each, most of serrations quite pronounced and as in Pr. 5; other segments much as in Pr. 5. Fifth: Sideplate subrectangular, notch and seta posteroproximally; depth about ⅓. basos length Basos ovate, not greatly narrowing proximally and with flange posterodistally, width about ⅔ length; otherwise as in Pr. 4 but serrations much stronger, as shown in Fig. 156. Merus about ⅘ basos length, width not [ unclear: ] length, margins almost parallel, distal angles strongly spined; 4 sets of 3 or 4 spines along anterior, 5 sets of 1 to 3 along posterior. Carpus as long, narrower, 3 sets of
