| Description |
English: Blind Crustacean
Prionocrangon ommatosteres, a blind deep-sea shrimp from the An 'am Sea, 405 fathoms. The eyes are completely atrophied, and the eyestalks are reduced to mere scales. The basal joint of the antennules, which contains the organ of hearing, is very greatly enlarged, perhaps to compensate for the loss of vision
