The mandible was compared with Walker's figure of that of sokotrae, but it should have been stated that only the trunk is thus short and stout, the palp being considerably longer than in Walker's figure, more like that figured by Stebbing for bruzelii (Challenger Eep., pi. xcvii). The $ gnathopod 2 is quite like that of the , only slightly heavier. Maera subcarinata (Hasw.). 1910. Stebbing, Ann. S. Afr. Mus., vol. vi, p. 457 (references). 1922.

Fig. 26.—Maera subcarinata (Hasw.), mandibular palp and hand of gnathopod 2, <$ (setae omitted). Two specimens ($ $) from Natal. The mandibular palp is very slender, and, contrary to Walker's statement and Stebbing's figure (Challenger Rep., pi. xcviii, persetosus), the 3rd joint is distinctly shorter than the 2nd, with only 2 apical setae (cf. Pirlot's figures 137, 143). The hand of gnathopod 2, #, is in general agreement with Walker's figure. Gen. Elasmopus Costa. 1932. Stephensen, Annot. Zool.
