Side-plates 2-4 deep but not closely packed, 4 with moderately deep excavation; 5 notched, the two lobes subequal; 6 similar but posterior lobe broader, though not deeper, than anterior; 7 trapezoidal, the hind margin longer than the anterior. Pleon rounded, except for the rather high carina on segment 4, which slopes gradually on the anterior side and falls abruptly and vertically on the posterior side, very much as in Ambasia atlantica. Postero-inferior angles of segments 1 and 2 rounded, of 3 rather less than a right angle, the corner rounded. Telson not twice as long as wide, cleft for three-quarters of its length, lobes slightly dehiscent, apically acute with a subapical spinule on outer side, and two lateral marginal spinules. Fig. 9. Ambasiopsis georgiensis, Brnrd. a. Side-plates 1 and 2 and gnathopod I, with palm further enlarged. b. Gnathopod 2, with palm further enlarged, c. Profile of epistome and upper lip. d. Pleon segments 3 and 4. e. Telson. /. Side-plates 4 and 5 and peraeopod 3. Antenna 1, peduncle stout, 1st joint apically produced on upper margin, 2nd and 3rd joints very short, flagellum 8-jointed, 1st joint half as long as 1st peduncular joint, setose, accessory flagellum 3-jointed, 1st joint the longest, but not as long as 1st flagellar joint. Antenna 2,4th joint longest, 5th shorter than 3rd, flagellum shorter than peduncle, 9-jointed. Epistome not projecting, upper lip produced in a rounded lobe. Mandible, cutting edge straight with a denticle at each end, spine row minute, molar strong, truncate, setose, palp longer than trunk, inserted over molar, 3rd joint two-thirds length of 2nd. Maxilla 1, inner lobe short, ovate, tipped with two long and one short setae, outer lobe with seven feebly serrate spines, palp extending beyond outer lobe, narrow, tipped with two short stout spi
