Coxae 1–4 with very few short setae on the distal margins. Pereopods 1–4 propodi with additional robust seta half-way on the posterior margin and similar robust setae on the anterior margin of the propodi of pereopods 5–7. Description. Based on male, 2 mm. Body (Fig. 1 a) laterally not much expanded, coxae not much laterally splayed. Protrusions on the lateral faces of the pereonites missing. With shallow dorsal keel, each carina on pereonites 2–7 wide and dorsally truncate; on pereonite 1 a rounded process anteriorly, about as wide as 1 / 3 the length of the segment, posteriorly a shorter, wide truncate protrusion. Carinae on pereonites 5–6 slightly drawn out posteriorly; on pereonite 7 wide and dorsally truncate, those on pleonite segments similar to that on pereonite 7. Head small, shorter than pereonite 1; eyes produced on rounded dorsal processes. Antenna 1 (Fig. 1 b) peduncle article 1 as wide as long, twice as wide as article 2, with subapical rounded dorsal lobe, small seta in characteristic notch halfway on medial margin; peduncular article 3 half the width of article 2; short 2 -articulate flagellum with long terminal aesthetascs. Antenna 2 (Fig. 1 d) slender, peduncular article 5 subequal or only weakly longer than article 4; article 4 1.5 x as long as article 3. Upper lip (Fig. 1 e) apically truncate. Mandibles (Fig. 1 f, g) with dentate incisors and 3 raker spines. Lower lip (Fig. 1 c) with truncate apical margin and short mandibular lobes. Maxilla 1 (Fig. 1 h) with minute nonsetose inner lobe; outer lobe with 6 robust setae of differing width; uniarticulate, inconspicuous, flat palp, reaching the apex of the outer plate. Maxilla 2 (Fig. 1 j) plates separate only apically; with inner plate almost 3 times as wide as outer plate. Maxilliped (Fig. 1 i) inner plate apically truncate with 3 nodular setae and few slender setae; outer plate long, ending in a mediodistal tip; palp 3 -articulate, slender, slightly shorter than outer plate. Pereon. Pereopod 1 (Fig. 2 a) coxa subrectangular; basis slightly expanded distally; ischium longer than merus; merus triangular, about the length of carpus; propodus as long as merus and carpus combined, anterior margin convex, posterior margin straight with 2 robust setae, inner face of propodus with row of stout apically setulose setae; dactylus falcate with long unguis. Pereopod 2 (Fig. 2 b) coxa wider than that of pereopod 1; basis distally expanded, anterior margin straight, posterior margin convex; mid diameter of ischium half the width of distal basis region; merus and carpus as for pereopod 1; propodus somewhat more slender and longer compared to pereopod 1 and without row of robust setae on inner face, 1 medial and 1 apical robust seta on the posterior margin; dactylus as for pereopod 1. Pereopod 3 (Fig. 2 c) coxa similar in shape to that of pereopod 2, but wider; basis subrectangular; ischium as in pereopod 2; merus with straight posterior margin and convex anterior margin, distal margin oblique; carpus slightly expanded distally, apical margin straight; propodus and dactylus subequal to that of pereopod 2. Pereopod 4 (Fig. 2 d) coxa widest with angular short lobe posteromarginally; basis to merus as for pereopod 3; propodus slightly more slender and longer compared to pereopod 3, with similar robust setae as on preceding pereopods; dactylus as for pereopod 3. Pereopod 5 (Fig. 2 e) coxa much wider than long, wider than the width of the basis, bilobed, posterior lobe slightly longer and wider than anterior one; basis anteromarginally straight, with wide rounded posterior lobe, expanded ventrally and partly covering the ischium, which is about as wide as long; merus drawn out into rounded posterodistal lobe; carpus as long as merus, slightly expanded distally; propodus and carpus as long as in pereopod 4, but propodus with 2 robust setae anteromarginally. Pereopod 6 (Fig. 3 a) coxa as wide as long, narrower than basis width; basis to dactylus subequal to that of pereopod 5. Pereopod 7 (Fig. 3 b) coxa smallest; basis with small posteromarginal lobe, distal margin oblique; ischium subrectangular, with 1 robust seta anterodistally; merus with 2 robust setae anterodistally, posterodistal lobe slightly shorter than that of pereopod 6; carpus shorter than that of pereopod 6, with 2 robust setae on anterior margin; propodus with 3 robust setae on anterior margin: dactylus as for pereopod 6. Pleon. Pleopods 1–3 with slender rami. Pleopod 1 (Fig. 3 h) with subrectangular peduncle, 2.2 x as long as wide, with 2 coupling hooks; outer ramus slightly longer than inner. Pleopod 2 (Fig. 3g) peduncle as long as wide, with 2 coupling hooks. Pleopod 3 (Fig. 3 f) peduncle wider than long with a tapering medial process ending in an apex with 2 coupling hooks. Uropod 1 (Fig. 3 e) peduncle longer than rami, slightly expanded distally; rami subequal, with nodular seta on the tip. Uropod 2 (Fig. 3 c) peduncle slightly longer than inner ramus, outer ramus inserted more proximally and somewhat shorter than inner ramus, both rami apically with nodular setae. Uropod 3 hidden under the triangular telson (Fig. 3 d). Variation. The material from Montague Island (AM P. 82001) has longer coxae 1 and several specimens of the sample from Broughton Island (AM P. 81996) have their first coxae drawn out posterolaterally. Sexual dimorphism. Female body much wider than male habitus. Uropod 1 peduncle as long as inner ramus, outer ramus shorter than inner, both rami longer than in male and terminal nodular setae minute. Uropod 2 peduncle shorter and more slender than in male, ramus more slender, outer ramus lacking. Remarks.
