. Bulletin - United States National Museum. Science. COPErODS OF THE WOODS HOLE EEGION 129 Female.—First antennae reaching at least four segments beyond the caudal rami, the basal segments considerably enlarged; urosome two-fifths as long as metasome; genital segment protruding a little on the left side and ventrally, mak- ing it slightly asymmetrical; caudal rami six times as long as wide, outer seta one-third the length of the ramus from its tip; fifth legs re- duced in size, endopod not reaching beyond the second segment of the exopod. Total length, mm. Male.—Body shorter and more slender than that of the female, first antennae as long, the grasping antenna on the left side; second basi- pods of fifth legs protruding in- wardly against each other; end seg- ment of right exopod turned back against the basal segment, end seg- ment of right endopod armed with six stout plumose setae; left endo- pod reaching beyond the tip of the second exopod segment; end segment of left exopod scarcely longer than the second segment. Total length. mm. Remarks.—The large size of this species and the length of the first antennae are distinctive characters, which can then be supplemented by the form of the fifth legs. Evidently the species is nowhere very abundant. LUCICUTIA CURTA Farran FiGtnuH 87 Lucicutia curta Farran, Rep.
