. Discovery reports. Discovery (Ship); Scientific expeditions; Ocean; Antarctica; Falkland Islands. 124 DISCOVERY REPORTS Remarks. This specimen differs from the four known species of the genus in having (i) the cephaUc segment separated off from the remaining trunk segments, (2) simple instead of compound spines on the legs, (3) the scape of approximately uniform diameter throughout, and not hollowed out to form a cup or collar ^ around the proximal part of the chela, and (4) denticulate spines on the terminal segments of the oviger. These differences are not of generic Fig. 70.

Terminal segments of same, further enlarged, {a, b, c and e: >: 60.) In three species—A^. annatus, Haswell (Flynn, 1919, p. 84, pi. xxi, fig. 18), A^. korotnewi, Schimkewitsch, and A^. muscosus, Loman (1908, pp. 50-53, pi. xiii, figs. 175-188)—the chelophore exceeds the proboscis in length. In the remaining two species—TV. abstrusiis, Loman, and N. denticulata—the chelophore is shorter than the proboscis. The former differs from the latter species, however, in having a two-jointed scape and three, instead of two, spinose projections on the dorsal surface of the trunk. 1 N. abstrusus, Loman, also seems to have no projecting collar round the chela, but the figures given are very small (Loman, 1923 a, p. 8, fig. D i and 2)..
