Marine isopods collected in the Philippines by the fisheries steamer Albatross in 1907-08 . Fig. 3.—Munnopsis longiremis. 162 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. vol. The abdomen consists of a single large segment, which measures in length. At each post-lateral angle is a long spine, mm. inlength, produced straight backward and about two-thirds the lengthof the lateral margin is a small spine on either side. The posteriormargin is produced in the middle in a small triangular process. Theuropoda consist of a long peduncle, 3 mm. in length, or twice as longas the post-lateral spines, and a single branch which is mm. inlength. All the legs are broken at the basis with the exception of one leg ofthe first pair, and this is the only one preserved (see fig. 4); it is pre-hensile, with 13 spines on the propodus and 5 on the merus; there isalso one long spine on the carpus about the middle of the inner margin. A single imperfect specimen, the body being in two parts, wasfound by the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries steamer Albatross at station 2807, off Chatham Island, Galapagos Islands,at a depth of 812 fathoms in globigerina ooze,coral, and mud.
