. Fig. 21. Ambylops durbani A, adult female in dorsal view, x8; B, right antennule, X22; C, left antenna, X22; D, right eyeplate in dorsal view, x 22; E, eighth thoracic appendage of male, x 22; F, right uropod, x 22; G, telson, x 22; H, distal end of telson, x 36. shape and armature of the telson. In A. kempii the telson is much longer and more slender, the lateral margins being armed with a row of 27-28 graduated spines, which extend over the distal five-sixths of their length, while in A. durbani there are only 10-11 spines, extending along rather less than half of the lateral margins

The apex in A. kempii is more rounded, narrower and bears only two pairs of long spines, which are shorter than those of A. durbani, but the minute median spinules and the plumose setae are precisely alike in both species. Distribution. The species has at present been taken on only one occasion—in a day oblique haul, 4i6(-o) m. off Durban. It would thus appear to be a meso-planktonic form. 14
