Acanthosoma i (Fig. 54). Length 3-1 mm. Rostrum 0-9 mm. Rostrum a little longer than antennule, with small basal spine. Supraorbital spines reaching end of segment i of antennule. Hepatic spine very small. Two pairs of stout lateral spines. Posterior dorsal spine rather small. Dorsal organ very small. Abdominal somites with dorsal spines nearly equal, the third a little the longest. Lateral spines 1-3 very stout and spiny, 4 and 5 small, smooth, or with a few spinules. Telson about i^ times as long as wide, with small distal fork and no lateral spines. Somites 1-3 with blunt ventral spines.
