The second joint is about as long as the four or five following joints together. The third
to the ninth joints are about the same length, as is the case in the female. The fourth to the
ninth joints have extremely weak, scarcely perceptible, basal spines. Endopodite: The three
bristles on the second joint have rounded points, furnished vvith a very short distal sensory hair.
The longest of these bristles is somewhat longer than the breadth of the joint at the point where
the bristle is attached; the shortest is only about a seventh of the length of this bristle. The
end joint is very much flattened and has hyaline side borders. On the inside at its point it is
provided with a few weak transverse chitin lists. Its proximal bristle is at least a third of the
length of this joint (broken).
Mandible: — Protopodite: Basale: The backward pointing process has the
same number of bristles as in the female. Of these bristles the distal end bristle and the
dwarf bristles are practically the same size as the corresponding bristles in the female. The
distal end bristle is, at least towards its point, armed with rather strong secondary spines. The
three other end bristles and the triaena bristles are, it is true, practically the same length as the
corresponding bristles in the female, but they are very weak and have very weak armature;
the main pair of secondary spines on the triaena bristles can scarcely be distinguished from
the proximal secondary spines, which are almost like hairs. The bristle on the middle
of the dorsal side of this joint is perhaps somewhat longer than the corresponding bristle
in the female. The dorsal side of this joint is, apart from this, quite smooth without
any of the hairs and spines that characterize the female. Endopodite: First joint:
Of the three ventral bristles the shortest one is armed at the middle with numerous rather
fine, long secondary bristles placed on all sides; distally it has short hairs. The two
others have no short secondary bristles proximally of the long ones. Second joint: This has
three proximal bristles differing somewhat in length, the longest not half the length of the
main bristle a. The medial cleaning bristles showed the following numbers and arrangement
on the specimen investigated:
Right mandible
Left mandible
7 bristles in a distinct lower row.
4 „ „ „ „ upper „
2 ,, near the main bristle b.
1 bristle between the main bristles a and b.
7 bristles in a distinct lower row.
5 „ „ ,. „ upper „
3 ,, near the main bristle b.
1 bristle between the main bristles a and b.
These bristles were somewhat longer than the corresponding ones in the female, but,
on the other hånd, they were somewhat more weakly armed than these. The end clavv was like
that of the female.
Seventh 1 i m b: — The cleaning bristles were armed with from two to four belis.
The f u r c a had nine or ten claws, of which the six or seven anterior ones may be termed
main claws. The anterior main claws are somewhat more decidedly bent than in the female
