. 0'5mm 0-25 mm Fig. 5. Nyctiphanes capensis. a, second calyptopis, lateral view; b, telson of same; c, second calyptopis, dorsal view. The remaining thoracic appendages are larger than in the preceding stage but are otherwise un- changed. Occasionally the rudiments of the second thoracic limb may be discerned as a small naked process. The segmentation of the thorax is clearly visible. The abdomen now has five segments and a telson. The developing uropods can be seen within the integument of the telson. The telson retains the three pairs of postero-lateral and one pair of ventro- lateral spine
