Under the last reference a key is given to the four species of this 

 genus. 



LIMNOKIA LIGNORUM (J. Rathke). 



1799. Cymothoa lignorum, J. Rathke, Naturh. Selsk. Skr., vol. v., 



p. 101, pi. 3, fig. 14. 



1814. Limnoria terebrans, Leach, Edinb. Encycl. vol. vii., p. 433. 

 1857. Limnoria lignorum, White, Popular Hist. Brit. Crust., p. 227, 



pi. 12, fig. 5.

and Laccadive Arch., vol. ii., p. 714. 



Harger (he. cit. p. 373) gives a synonymy of this species to the 

 date of his work. The specimens sent me from the Cape, together 

 with some of the timber they had been perforating, were obtained by 

 Thomas Reeve, Esq., at Port Elizabeth. I have ascertained by dis- 

 section that they agree with the description and figures of the 

 European species by Sars in his Crustacea of Norway. The maxilli- 

 peds have the lanceolate epipod shorter than the second joint, and the 

 uropods have the little outer ramus unguiform. Harger figures 

 these characters also for his North American specimens.
