orbicular in form, dactylus comparatively short, lanceolate ; last pair
much smaller
than the 2 preceding pairs. Uropoda exceedingly small, resembling in structure
those in the 2 preceding species. Colour of dorsal face light yellowish, with the
edges of the segments somewhat darker, caudal segment yellowish brown. Length
of adult female 272 mm.
Remarks. This is a very distinct species, and ought perhaps to be re-
garded as the type of a separate genus, differing, as it. does, in several points
rather essentially from the other species.
Occurrence. Only a few specimens
of this form have hitherto come un-
der my notice. They were taken, some in the outer part of the Hardanger
Fjord, at Mosterhavn, some in the Stavanger Fjord, the depth ranging
to 200 fathoms. Out of Norway it has not yet
been recorded.
