ligesom Saxlemmerne tæt haarede, navnlig i det ydre Parti.
Af Leddene er 2det storst. De 2 ydre Led er begge
yderst smaa og omtrent af ens Længde, det sidste af
afrundet oval Form.
De falske Fodder (Fig. 1 e) er neppe længere end
Legemet og har -tde og 5te Led omtrent af ens Udseende
og Længde, hvorved er at mærke, at det undersøgte
Exemplar er en Hun. Randtornerne er forholdsvis smaa og
stærkt krummede, med meget smaa Sidedtænder. Paa sidste
Led (Fig. 1 f) er der 8 saadanne Torner, successivt
tiltagende i Længde mod Spidsen. Endekloen (ibid.) er næsten
lige og har 7 smaa Sidetænder.
Gangfodderne (se Fig. 1) er ualmindelig robuste,
noget sammentrykte og overalt tæt laadne af korte,
ensformigt udviklede Haar. De er neppe 3 Gange længere
end Legemet og kun lidet afsmalnende mod Enden. Dog
er Laarleddet betydelig bredere end de øvrige. 2det
Lægled er næsten overalt af ens Bredde og omtrent 2 */2 Gang
længere end det terminale Afsnit. Tarsalleddet (se Fig.
1 g) er meget kort, neppe længere end bredt, og danner
indad en afrundet, med fine Torner besat Lap. Fodleddet
er næsten 3 Gange saa langt, noget opsvulmet i sit basale
Parti og her i Inderkanten bevæbnet med en Rad af circa
8, udad i Længde tiltagende Torner. Endekloen er
forholdsvis kort, neppe mere end halvt saa lang som
Fodleddet, men særdeles kraftig og stærkt krummet. Bikløerne
er vel udviklede, omtrent halvt saa lange som Endekloen.
Farven var paa det undersøgte Exemplar ensformig
graahvid, halvt gjennemsigtig.
Forekomst. Det ovenfor beskrevne Exemplar toges
under Nordhavs-Expeditionens sidste Togt i Saltströmmen,
ved Indløbet til Saltenfjord, paa et Dyb af 80 — 90 Favne
mellem Hvdroider. Paa andre Steder af vor Kyst har jeg
ikke truffet den.
Udbredning. Arten er udbredt til Island, hvorira
saavel Kröyer’s Typeexemplar som det nylig af Dr. Hansen
omtalte Individ var. Paa andre Localiteter er den hidtil
ikke med Sikkerhed observeret. Thi Angivelserne herom
beror ganske sikkert paa en Forvexling med følgende Art.
and, like the chelifori, densely hairy, particularly in the
outer part. Of the joints, the 2nd is the largest. The 2
outer joints are both very small and about equal in length;
the terminal one having a rounded oval form.
The false legs (fig. 1 e) are hardly longer than the
body, and have the 4th and 5th joints about uniform
in length and appearance; but it is to be noted that the
specimen examined was a female. The marginal spines
are comparatively small and strongly curved, with very
minute lateral teeth. On the last joint (fig. 1 f) 8 of
these spines occur, increasing successively in length towards
the point. The terminal claw (ibid.) is well-nigh straight
and has 7 small lateral teeth.
The ambulatory legs (see fig. 1) are uncommonly
robust, somewhat compressed, and everywhere densely hispid
with short, uniformly developed hairs. They are hardly 3
times longer than the body, and taper but little towards
the extremity. The femoral joint, however, is considerably
broader than the others. The 2nd tibial joint is almost
uniform in breadth throughout, and about two and a half
times as long as the terminal section. The tarsal joint (see
fig 1 g) is very short, scarcely longer than it is broad, and
forms inwards a rounded lobe beset with delicate spines.
The propodal joint is almost 3 times as long, a little
swollen in its basal part aud armed there, on the inner
edge, with a series of about 8 spines increasing in length
outwards. The terminal claw is comparatively short,
scarcely more than half the length of the propodal joint,
but exceedingly powerful and strongly curved. The
auxiliary claws are well developed, about half as long as the
terminal claw.
In the specimen examined the colour was a uniform
greyish white, semi-translucent.
Occurrence. The specimen described above was taken
on the North-Atlantic Expedition’s last cruise in
Saltstraumen, at the mouth of the Saltenfjord, at a depth of 80—90
fathoms, among Hydroids. In other localities of the
Norwegian coast I have not met with the animal.
Distribution. Tile range of this species extends to
Iceland, whence both Kröyer’s typical specimen and the
individual lately spoken of by Dr. Hansen were obtained.
Elsewhere it has not as vet been observed with certainty,
as all statements to that effect assuredly rest on its being
confounded with the following species.
