SUBTERRANEAN AMPHIPOD STYGONECTES 63 Diagnosis.—Differing only from *S. t. tenuis in the absence of coxalgills on pereopod 7 in both sexes and in the absence of sternal gills onpleonite 1 of the male. Largest males, mm; largest females, mm. Variation.— Pronounced sexual dimorphism in the structure ofthe male second antenna in S. tenuis has already been noted. Theregression line in figure 14 illustrates the allometric size relationshipbetween antennal lengths and standard body length in males, and. Figure 13.—Stygonedes tenuis potomacus, new subspecies. Male ( mm), Glencarlyn,Va.: a, lower lip; b,c, right and left mandibles; d, maxilla 1; e, lateral sternal gill;/,maxilla 2; g, maxilliped; h,i, uropods 1,2.

Assize increases, length of antenna 2 approaches the length of antenna 1,and in males between and mm both antennae become aboutequal in length. Males over mm in length, however, typically 2nd Antenna Xh- o•z hi 111 h- :z< 3 St Antenna X / X
