Peraeopods 4 and 5, 2nd joint with hind margin convex, not straight or nearly so as in australis, the contrast most noticeable in peraeopod 4. Remarks. Whereas the specimens of australis were found amongst littoral Hydroids, Algae, etc., the present specimens were extracted from a jellyfish. Family LEUCOTHOIDAE Stebbing, 1906, p. 161.
