. Fig. 106. Epimeria excisipes, Photograph taken on board (St. 175). Fig. 107. Epimeria excisipes, Side-plates 4-7 and 2nd joints of peraeopods 3-5. Description. Integument, rostrum, peraeon and pleon as in inermis Wlkr., but side- plates 4-6 thicker and more strongly gibbose. Side-plate 4 concave on lower hind margin, lower margin straight or slightly concave, antero- and postero-inferior angles quadrate, almost sharp in some specimens.

Side-plate 6 pointed below (rounded in inermis). The lower margins of the peraeon segments are not at all tuberculate or gibbose. Some specimens are almost foveolate on the pleura of pleon segments 1-3. Peraeopods 3-5, 2nd joints closely resembling those of robusta Brnrd., but that of peraeopod 5 distinctively expanded in its proximal two-thirds into a broad lamina, bounded below by an acute re-entrant angle. In some of the smaller S3 this re-entrant angle or excision on all three peraeopods is more a right angle than an acute angle.
