. The Arthrostraca of Connecticut. Malacostraca. No. 26.] ARTHROSTRACA OF CONNECTICUT. 195 subequal ones. First three segments with abundant setae on lateral margins which are continued as transverse bands over the dorsal side of the first and second segments near the posterior margins. Last two segments much narrower than the preceding ones; the fourth segment very short. The last segment is sub- quadrangular and bears a triangular process at each side near base. Pleopods, three pairs, consisting of a peduncle with two semioval lamelliform rami. Uropods scarcely longer than last two segments
. The Arthrostraca of Connecticut. Malacostraca. No. 26.] ARTHROSTRACA OF CONNECTICUT. 195 subequal ones. First three segments with abundant setae on lateral margins which are continued as transverse bands over the dorsal side of the first and second segments near the posterior margins. Last two segments much narrower than the preceding ones; the fourth segment very short. The last segment is sub- quadrangular and bears a triangular process at each side near base. Pleopods, three pairs, consisting of a peduncle with two semioval lamelliform rami. Uropods scarcely longer than last two segments of abdomen; basal segment comparatively small; second segment nearly as long as first, and third segment half as long as the second. Color brown, mottled with lighter above; nearly white beneath. Length 5 mm. The species occurs on piles and among algas and eel-grass from I to 6 feet in depth. It is found on sponges, Balanus, Laminaria, and oysters. Distribution: Greenland, Norway, British Isles, Bermuda, Azores, Mediterranean, Long Island Sound; Noank, Connecticut. This species is readily recognized among the New England Isopoda by the setas on the abdomen which are arranged on its margins and in two transverse rows near the posterior margins of its first two segments.
