arising distally from outer distal angle, as long as inner basal plate, finely setose distally and most of length. Mandible: Palp broken off both mandibles. Cutting edge, upper plate a narrow rectangular projection with 6 or so small incised teeth distally; molar process a large inwardly directed triangular process; between the two a small subtriangular process with numerous fine setae corresponding to spine row. Maxilliped: Outer plates large, ovate, outer margins convex, greatest width medially more than ½ length, apically rounded; inner margin has 12 or so roughly paired small setae; median lobe a narrow subtriangular plate, more than ½ length of outer, 2 small end spines, distal ¾ of surface with fine setae.

Gnathopods. First: Sideplate small, ovate. Basos somewhat expanded, margins convex, greatest width ½ length, surface of posterodistal angle somewhat minutely toothed. Ischium subsquare, ¼ basos length, posterior margin and posterodistal surface finely toothed. Merus anterior free margin small, segment produced posteriorly along carpus to propod in broad scoop-like process, posterodistal margin has about 8 spines, greatest width ½ length posterior margin; posterodistal surface and posterior margin finely toothed. Carpus anterior margin ⅓ basos length, posteriorly produced in strong knife-like process to end of propod, anterior margin has molar-like teeth, surface and posterior margin are minutely toothed; posterior margin twice length of anterior. Propod widest proximally, margins convex, as long as carpus anterior margin, more than twice width; inner and end margins toothed; anterior ½ of surface minutely toothed, inner surface has several fine bristles. Dactylos slender, inner margin toothed, ½ propod length. Second: Large gill somewhat subrectangular. Ischium less than ¼ basos length; merus posterior margin about ⅓ basos length, not as narrowly produced as in Gn. 1, almost reaching propod base. Carpus posteriorly produced to sharp triangular process, process margins slightly convex, process extending a little past propod; posterior margin more than twice length anterior. Propod barely longer than carpus anterior margin, narrowing to slender dactylos, inner toothed margin slightly concave. Otherwise like Gn. 1.

Peraeopods. First: Basos medial width ⅖ length, margins slightly convex. Ischium subrectangular, ½ basos length. Merus anterior margin slightly convex, length ⅓ basos, width ½ length, a few bristles on margins; distal margin finely toothed, ischium similar. Carpus widening slightly distally, slightly longer than merus, distal width ½ length, distal margin finely toothed, surface minutely toothed, posterior surface has several scattered bristles, posterodistal angle produced in small sharp process, posterior margin finely toothed. Propod slightly more than ½ basos length, narrowing slightly distally, width about ⅕ length, anterior margin has a few bristles, anterior surface is minutely toothed, posterior has a few fine bristles, posterior and end margins finely toothed. Dactylos slender, 3 or 4 teeth on inner margin proximally, ⅓ propod length. Second: Similar. Third and Fourth. Like fifth. Fifth: Basos margins relatively straight, width ⅓ length. Ischium subrectangular, ⅓ basos length. Merus posterior margin slightly convex, ½ basos length, distal width more than ½ length, a few scattered bristles on anterior margin. Carpus end margin and anterior surface finely toothed, rest very minutely toothed. Propod ⅔ basos length, proximal width ⅕ length, narrowing to slender dactylos which is nearly ½ propod length; propod anterior surface finely toothed.

Epimeral Plates. First: Ovate, shield-like, with mediodistal apex. as wide as deep. Second and Third: More or less subrectangular, anterior margin slightly
