No doubt it is very bold to establish a new genus based upon a single, very damaged specimen that has lost even limbs which are from a systematic point of view as important as the two first pairs of pereiopods. The large hind lobe of the 4th sideplate, however, seems In be of so great importance as generic character, even if all other features should appear to coincide with already described species or genera, that the establishment of a new genus is justified. II is to be hoped that future expeditions will pro- cure better preserved specimens. The Ingolf-Expedition. Ill u. 33.
