This species has not been recorded since it was first described by Ohlin in 1901 from a single female, measuring 7 mm. in length and 4 mm. in greatest breadth. The Discovery collections contain a number of mature specimens of both sexes; of these, the males are the larger, measuring 9 mm. in length and 5 mm. in greatest breadth; the mature females are approximately the same size as Ohlin's specimen. Ohhn's estimate of the length of the eye-stalks (p. 298) is too high; they are not 'nearly as long as the peduncle of the antennules' as he suggested, but about the length of the first two joints. The form of the coxae and of the brood pouch in the breeding female has already been dealt with in the introduction to the genus (pp. 154-158). The male characters are very like those already described for E. bilobata, the flagellum of the antennule bears many more sensory setae than d
