Group I B Dorsal spines on some abdominal somites paired The six species included in this group all agree in having a telson of "A" type and well developed exopod on leg 5. In having some of the dorsal spines in pairs they resemble Axius stirhynchiis, and there can be very little doubt that they may be assigned to Axiidae. Thalassinid D. V (Fig. 12) Discovery St. 711. Rostrum 2-65 mm.; body 7-07 mm. Rostrum broad, tapering, not greatly longer than antennule. Carapace with close- set small marginal spines in front. Abdomen: somite 2 with large dorsal spine; somites 3-5 with a pair of small dorsal spines, or somite 3 without spines. Pleura rounded. Telson three times as long as wide, slightly produced distally, with spine formula 8, I, 8. Eye oval. Antenna with large inner and outer spines on basis; scale with outer basal seta. Maxillule: palp short and stout, of two segments. Maxilla with palp of three segments. Maxillipede i with outer seta on segment 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 the original Institute of Oceanographic Sciences (Great Britain); National Institute of Oceanography of Great Britain; Great Britain.
