SUBTERRANEAN AMPHIPOD STYGONECTES 45 Gnathopod 2: propod palmar margin relatively straight, armed witha double row of 6 or 7 small spiiie teeth; posterior angle with 1 largespine on outside and 1 or 2 small spines on inside; posterior marginwith 3 sets of setae; lateral setae few in number, mostly doublyinserted; coxal plate about as broad as long, with 9 marginal setae.Coxal plate of pereopod 3 about as long as broad at base, narrowingdistally, with 5 setae and 3 spinules marginally. Coxal plate ofpereopod 4 about as long as broad, extending about 1/2 the lengthof segment 2, marginally with 10 or 11 setae. Pereopod 7 aboutequal in length to pereopod 6, 15 to 20 percent longer than pereopod5. Bases of pereopods 5-7 with rather well-developed distoposteriorlobes. Dactyls of pereopods 5-7 approximately 40 percent as longas corresponding propods. Coxal gills on pereopod 7 absent in bothsexes; sternal gills present on 1st pleonite of female, absent in male;all other gills present. Abdomin
