Peraeopods 3-5, 2nd joint oblong, hind margin nearly straight in peraeopod 3, straight in peraeopod 4 and slightly concave in peraeopod 5, finely serrulate, postero- inferior corners rounded, 6th with five groups of spines on anterior margin, four on posterior margin. Uropod 3, rami longer than peduncle, subequal, lanceolate, apically acute, margins with fairly closely set spinules, outer margin of outer ramus with six pairs of stouter spinules. Fig. 129. Paramoera bidentata, a. Head. b. Pleon segments 1-4. c. Dorsal view of tooth on segment 2. d. Telson. Remarks. Similar to edouardi as regards integument, telson, and pleon segment 3, but separated by the head, dentate pleon segments 1 and 2, broader gnathopods, and oblong 2nd joints of peraeopods 3-5. Although not represented in the Discovery collection, it is convenient to describe this species alongside other species of the genus. Stebbing, 1906, pp. 364, 729. Schellenberg, 1926, p. 363.
