Archive image from page 78 of Discovery reports (1932) Discovery reports discoveryreports06inst Year: 1932 NYMPHONIDAE 67 '/F::=3 Description of holotype {). Trunk compact, last two pairs of lateral processes in contact proximally, the others separated by very short intervals. Cephalic segment as wide anteriorly as long; neck very short, base of oviger occupying most of the space between anterior cephalic lobe and first lateral process. Ocular tubercle high (o-8 mm.), very wide at base (o-6 mm.), tapering to about half that width at the apex on which the four eyes are set. Setae almost entirely absent (Fig. 30). Proboscis stout, sub-cylindrical, rounded at apex, somewhat contracted at base; slightly shorter than either scape or cephalic segment. Abdomen horizontal, fusiform, reaching to middle of second coxa. Scape of chelophore nearly four times as long as wide, with a few very minute setae at the distal end. Chela shorter than scape (see measure- ments), palm short, ovoid, fingers half as long again as palm, much curved, each armed with seven or eight long spinules; a few fine setae on proximal half of immovable finger (Fig. 29 d). Palp with two terminal segments together ap- proximately equal to third, and three-fourths of second segment (segments 2-5 in the proportions 10 :7-7:4-4:3-2 and in female as 10 :']â :4-8 13). Oviger. Terminal claw subequal to tenth seg- ment and armed with 4-5 spinules. Total number of denticulate spines, 26. Segments 4-6 as represented in Fig. 27 e, and in the proportions 1-82 :2-55 : i. Third leg rather stout proximally, and tapering gradually from the distal articulation of the first tibia where the width is suddenly reduced to almost one-half ( proximal width of second is less than two-thirds distal width of first tibia, see Fig. 30 c, $). Second coxa equal to the sum of the other two (dorsal measurements). Femur shorter than either tibia, three times as long as wide and slightly inflated ventrally (Fig. 29 c); no raised fe
