Telson apically notched, the lobes rather sharply pointed. Antenna 1, 1st joint with two acute processes on inner apex; rest of antenna 1 and whole of antenna 2 lost. Mandible elongate, apically subacute, secondary cutting-plate in right mandible only, elongate, apically bifid, molar reduced to a small tubercle. Maxilla 1, palp 2-jointed, not extending to apex of outer lobe. Maxilliped, 2nd joint of palp produced along inner margin of 3rd. Gnathopods 1 and 2 as figured for , Stebb. (1888, pi. lxxi). Peraeopods 3-5, 2nd joint strongly expanded, the hind margin produced into three strong teeth. The lateral longitudinal keel also produces a small tooth where it joins the lower hind Fig. 72. Panoploea macrocystidis, a. General view, showing only the near-side process of the pair of dorsal processes on pleon segment 2. b. Right mandible, c. Maxilla 1, with spine from outer lobe further enlarged. Uropod 2, outer ramus three-quarters length of inner ramus. Uropod 3, rami ovate- lanceolate. Remarks. The superficial likeness in dorsal armature to Iphimedia pacifica, Stebb., and pidchridentata, Stebb., and to Panoploea jonbini,Chevr., is great; but the species really resembles P. eblanae even more closely, though the absence of paired dorsal processes on pleon segment 3 and the extra tooth on the 2nd joints of peraeopods 3-5 distinguishes it from the latter. Compare also, P. midtidentata, Schell. 1931, p. 117, fig. 63. The specimen was found among kelp roots and its colour was "brown, closely covered with small crimson spots. Legs broadly banded with red. Eyes bright pink". Panoploea excisa, (Fig. 73). Occurrence: St. MS 82. Saldanha Bay, South Africa. 1 ovig. $ 3-5 mm. Description. Rostrum acute, not strongly bent downwards. Eyes circular, pale (as preserved). Peraeon
