Endopod of maxillipede i. St. 1581. Chelae of leg i large. Leg 5 with very small setose exopod. Epipods absent. Four pairs of pleopods. This form is as widely distributed and nearly as common as species D. I. Small differences found suggest that more than one species may be included: (i) Specimens from the Indian Ocean, while agreeing in general characters with those from Atlantic differ in small details. Those from Sts. 1574, 1578 and 1589 have six spines on each side of the median telson spine, and are, on the whole, larger.
