Fr., viii, p. 345, fig. 1 (non Brandt-Budde-Lund). Surface minutely granulate. Eugae moderately distinct. Epistome not strongly raised. Peraeon segment 1 with marginal groove not extending so far forwards as in nigricans, and the hind corner more unequally cleft; internal tooth on segment 2 as in nigricans. Epimera of segments 6 and 7 without ridge on lower surface. Telson only slightly broader than long, sides incurved, apical margin slightly convex, dorsally as in nigricans, but the basal tubercles less conspicuous, the median keel longer and more distinct. Uropod, peduncle distinctly narrower than in nigricans, the distal outer angle more rounded, outer ramus minute, inner ramus longer than in nigricans, extending half-way to apex of telson. Up to 7 x 3 mm. Dark slaty-grey, legs and uropods pale. Localities.—Cape Province : Cape Flats at Wynberg and Diep Eiver, Cape Peninsula (W. F. P.) ; Noordhoek Flats, Cape Peninsula (K. H. B.). I have seen only a few specimens of this form, which is evidently the same as that figured by Dollfus, and differs from the specimens identified by Budde-Lund as Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble
