The single specimen obtained—a female—was taken off Big Duck Island, Grand Manan, at a depth of 55 fathoms on muddy bottom. The body is elongated and very slender, slightly over seven times as long as broad, and much depressed. The cephalosome is slightly longer than it is broad and the anterior margin slightly ex- cavate on either side of a blunt median point. The first pair of antennae have the first article longer than the other two com- bined. The second pair of antennae are similar to those of the next species. The thorax is cylindrical in shape, having the first segment the shortest, the second, third, fourth, and fifth subequal, and the sixth slightly shorter than the fifth, but longer than the first. The chelipeds are somewhat stouter than those of the next species, while the other legs are much as in that species, the three posterior pairs having the basal article expanded and stout. The abdomen is composed of six segments, the last one being rounded posteriorly. The uropods are biramous, the peduncle of each is quite stout, and the two branches are. Fig. 1.
