. Bulletin - United States National Museum. Science. COPEPODS OF THE WOODS HOLE REGION 171 (Bourne) ; Shetland Islands (Norman) ; Bouloojne (Canii) ; Narra- gansett Bay (Williams) ; Woods Hole Harbor (Fish). Color.—Body yellowish gray, the cephalothorax and the sides of the metasome with a decided greenish tinge; caudal setae and the large spines on the elongated second legs dark cinnamon-brown; eye ruby red. Female.—Metasome strongly compressed and of nearly uniform width, urosome tapering posteriorly; body segments with smooth posterior margins; caudal rami a little longer than wide, divergent, the apical setae spread- ing considerably. Rami of first four pairs of legs 3-seg- mented, spines on first exopod slender and elongate, the one on the second segment turned backward; dis- tal segment of second endopods nearly three times as long as the first and second seg- ments combined; dis- tal segment of fifth legs with transverse rows of slender spinules on the anterior surface near its base. Total length, mm. Mate.—Smaller than female, the urosome 5-segmented; first an- tennae terminating in a swollen, clawed hand; first four pairs of legs like those of female; distal segment of fifth legs armed with seven slender setae, without the terminal spine; inner expansion of basal segment with a single straight seta. Genital segment showing p. rudimentary sixth pair of legs at its posterior corners, each made up of a small lamina armed with two setae and two spines. Total length, mm. Remarks.—This copepod can be recognized at once by the elon- gated second endopods and the peculiar form of the fifth legs. It sticks rather closely to the bottom, where the long second legs assist it in locomotion. Genus CANUELLA T. Scott, 1893 Body nearly cylindrical; head separated from first segment; ros- trum narrow and tongue-shaped; urosome of female 4-segmented, of. Figure 116.—Lonffipedia coronata: a. Female, dorsal (after Sars) ; b, o, male, fifth and sixth legs
