Figs. A,B, head; C, epistome; D, peraeopod 5; E, pleon segments 1-3; F,G,H, uropods 1, 2, 3; I, telson. Some small differences applicable to the new species and of sub- specific value are: (1) article 4 of gnathopod 2 is not produced. (2) The posterior edge of article 2 of peraeopod 5 is more oblique and the whole article less quadrangular. (3) the inner ramus of the feminine third uropod is somewhat shorter. (4) the telson has more apical spines. (5) the third peraeopod appears slightly shorter and stouter. This species is closely related to P. cognatus n. sp., differing princi- pally from it in the massive epistome. In P. cognatus the epistome is produced but is smaller and more sharply pointed. Other minor differ- ences of P. cognatus include: (1) the rounded lower posterior corner of the third epimeron; (2) the shorter, denser spines on the peduncle of.
