The species described below is provisionally placed in this genus, though differing in certain respects. In other respects it combines the characters of both Acontiostoma and Stomacontion. From both it differs noticeably in the 1st gnathopod. Chilton (1912) was of opinion that Stomacontion was not generically distinct from Acontiostoma, and in describing S. capense I was of the same opinion. But further study b. c. £ Fig. 4.

If the palp of maxilla 1 is of generic importance the 1st gnathopod might also be considered as such. Stomacontion insigne, (Fig. 4). Occurrence: St. 160. Shag Rocks. 1 specimen about 6 mm. Description. Integument (as preserved) moderately indurated, smooth. Eyes absent. Side-plates deep, non-setose, 1st subtriangular but not markedly shorter than 2, 4 somewhat truncate below, 5 with posterior lobe deeper than anterior. Pleon seg- ment 3 remarkably shortened dorsally, forming a rounded hump, postero-lateral angle quadrate, slightly produced; segment 4 falling away abruptly from segment 3, with a strong upturned process on posterior margin. Telson oblong, slightly longer than broad, apex angularly and shallowly excised. Antenna 1 stout, 2nd and 3rd joints very short, flagellum 4-jointed, 1st joint longest, accessory flagellum2-jointed, 1st joint slender, longer t
