Text Appearing Before Image:
pleonalmost smooth, the whole surface of body and antennae anduropods covered with fine setae. Head with lateral lobesbroad, median lobe rounded anteriorly, depressed below themore posterior part of the head, which is covered with roundedtubercles. Antennae with distinct carination on the fifthjoint of the peduncle, flagellum 2-jointed, proximal jointabout half as long as the distal. First pair of legs short,having the inner margin of the carpus thickly covered withshort setae, most of which end in two or three points ; merusalso bearing similar setae though not so numerous ; propodwith two or three stout ordinary setae towards the distal end.The second and third pairs of legs show similar setae, butthey are less numerous than in the first. Segments ofperaeon only slightly convex, posterior margin of the firstsinuate, so that the posterior angle of the side-plate is slightlyproduced; side-plates of the remaining segments becomingmore acute posteriorly. Pleon not narrower than peraeon.
Text Appearing After Image:
479 side-plates of segments 3, 4, aiid 5 large, their outer marginbeing continuous with that of the peraeon ; terminal segmentnarrow, triangular with sides slightly concave and reachingWell beyond the peduncle of uropods, and about as far a« theextremity of the inner branch. Uropod with basal jointbroad, grooved externally ; exopod narrow, conical, about aslong as the terminal segment: endopod reaching. half-wayalong the exopod and ending in two or three small seta«. Colour,—Light brown with marblings and median stripeof dark brown. Remarks,—In the general shape of the body, in thecarination of the antennae, the setae on the anterior legsof the male, and in the triangular terminal segment thisspecies agrees well with the Indian species of the genus ; onthe whole, it seems perhaps to come nearest to H, hispidus,,Collinge, with which it agrees in the proportions of the jointsof the flagellum of the antennae and in the general coveringof the body, but it differs from that species i
