Color gray to black. Relationship.—Differing from Melita palmata (Montagu) (see Sars, 1895, pi. 179) only by the possession of 4 teeth in 2 pairs on urosomal segment 2, not a single tooth on each side. From its faunistic relative, M. desdichada J. L. Barnard (1962b), which it resembles by its pleonal tooth formula, M. sulca differs by the aberrant male gnathopod 1 and the "palmata" kind of gnathopod 2. Material.—Vicinity of Friday Harbor, Washington, numerous specimens in collections made by Dr. Paul L. IUg and Dr. Erik Dahl, 1951 to 1964; carmel: Macrocystis holdfast, scarce, cayucos: buried cobbles, rare; in algae collected by Dr. E. Yale Dawson, July 15, 1960. Figure 24.—Miscellaneous figures.
