The first pereiopod is strongly elongated, was used to catch prey, and was more calcified than the rest of the body. Mecochirus was probably a bottom-dwelling reef inhabitant. On the plate are also several specimens of the swimming crinoid Saccocoma tenella GOLDFUSS, 1831. Line drawing: References: C. E. Schweitzer, R. M. Feldmann, A. Garassino, H. Karasawa, and G.
