Telson, lateral margins slightly concave beyond the basal convexity, cleft for almost half its length, lobes apically subacute with a single spine in a notch. Antenna 1, flagellum with sensory filaments on every alternate joint. Gnathopods 1 and 2, 5th joint shorter than 6th, not strongly lobed below, 6th widening to the nearly transverse palm, which has three to four spines on the rounded defining angle. Remarks. The integument, gnathopods and telson prevent this form from being regarded as the same as the young specimen hesitatingly identified by Monod (1926) as P. aiistrina. Paramoera tristanensis, (Figs. 118 k, 127). Occurrence: 1. St. 6. Tristan da Cunha. 6 $$ and 4 ovig. $$ 6-7 mm. Types. 2. St. WS 123. Gough Island. 5 ovig. $$ 7-9 mm. (shore). Description. Integument minutely shagreened, with rather numerous pits, closer together than in obliquimanus and not as large as in gregaria. No dorsal teeth. Post- antennal angle of head quadrate. Eyes oblong, slightly larger in 6* than in ?. Side-plates 1 and 2 rounded below. Pleon segment 3 with postero-inferior angle broadly rounded, margin obscurely crenulate or serrulate. Telson half as long again as wide, cleft for about three-quarters its length, lateral mar- gins convex, lobes slightly dehiscent, apices subacute, each with a single spine. d Antenna I, flagellum with sensory fila- Fig. 127.
