St. 170: 23. ii. 27, 61° 25' 30" S., 53° 46' 00" W., 342 m., 4 $? (breeding), 2 SS, 3 immature. A male and a female specimen from St. 170 are chosen as holotypes. Description. The largest male of the Discovery collections was damaged so that measurements cannot be given, the smaller one is 19 mm. in length and 6 mm. in greatest breadth; the breeding female is considerably broader and measures 23-5 mm. in length and 875 mm. in greatest breadth. The body is subcylindrical, scarcely depressed (Text-fig. 15a) and characteristically sculptured; all the specimens were thickly coated with fine mud, etc. The anterior margin of the head is deeply excavate, and a median narrow groove extends backwards to unite with the transverse groove which separates the head from the first pereion somite with which it is fused. The eyes, which are small and dorso-lateral in position, are slightly raised. Between the eyes are two raised areas separated from each other by the median groove; immediately behind these, in the mid-line, is a small rounded tubercle. On the first pereion somite, behind the groove separating it from the head, is the first pair of a series of large dorsal protuberan
