) evenly tapering, 225 μm long, 87 μm in greatest width near base, terminated by linguiform, setulose lamella, and extending to base of maxilliped. Mandible (
Fig. 27G
) consisting of stylet and palp. Stylet 192 μm long, its distal part needle-like, but denticulated in different viewing angle (
Fig. 27G
). Palp 2 segmented; first segment 44 μm long; second segment 15 μm long, with 2 distal setae of 156 and 77 μm long, respectively. Maxillule (

) bilobed; inner lobe 81 μm long, with 5 setae distally; lengths of these 5 setae 104, 103, 99, 75, and 21 μm, respectively; outer lobe 26 μm long, with 4 setae distally; lengths of 4 setae on out er lobe 106, 100, 78, and 23 μm long, respectively. Maxilla (
Fig. 27I
) 2-segmented; syncoxa with flexible gland tube proximally and ornamented with longitudinal row of minute spinules proximally; basis forming weakly curved claw bearing rows of spinules. Maxilliped (
Fig. 28A
) 6segmented; syncoxa with 1 stiff, needlelike seta at inner distal corner; basis 123 × 34 μm, with 1 minute seta at halfway of inner margin and row of spinules on outer margin; armature formula for 4segmented endopod 2, 1, 1, and 1 + claw; terminal segment 42 μm long; terminal claw 92 μm long, more than twice as long as terminal segment, with fine spinules on concave margin.

Legs 14 as in female. Leg 5 exopod (
Fig. 29E

Fig. 29B
).
Etymology.
The specific name
macrocephalus
is a combination of Greek
macro
(= large) and
cephal
(= the head). It alludes to the large cephalothorax of the new species.
Remarks.
In one of four observed samples of leg 4, the third exopodal segment of leg 4 is armed with 4 spines and 2 inner setae (formula III, I, 2) and the third endopodal segment of the same leg is armed with 4 setae (formula 1, 2, 1). These setations are considered to be variations.
