Uropod, peduncle as broad as long, apically broadly subquadrate, outer ramus very small, inner ramus extending almost to apex of telson, about 4 times as long as broad. Up to 5 x 1-75 mm.

Fig. 55.—Diploexochus kaokoensis n. sp. a, Ventral view of epimera 1 and 2 ; b, dorsal view of uropod ; c, telson and uropods ; d, external lateral view of epimeron 1. The complete obliteration of the dorsal margin of the epistome, except for a short distance at the sides, is distinctive. This feature, the completely grooved margin of 1st segment, broad uropod, and short rectangular distal portion of the telson easily distinguish this species from thomseni. Diploexochus saldanhae n. sp. (Fig. 56, c-e.) Strongly convex. Rugae distinct, tubercular, on the peraeon seg- ments arranged in 2 transverse rows, the anterior row on segment 1 with 4 rounded tubercles rather larger than the others, the tubercles on the other segments subequal in size, more elongate ; segments 2-7 with the smooth anterior portion sharply divided from the raised, tuberculate, posterior portion. Pleon segments 3-5 with a series of rounded granules distally. Epistome scarcely raised above level of head, convex above, deeply biconcave below.
