The only features by which the generic position of the present 

 specimens can be determined are the mandibular palp and the epipod 

 of the maxilliped. Both of these are of the type found in Eurycope. 



EPICARIDEA. 



This tribe has hitherto been poorly represented in the fauna list 

 of South African Crustacea. Stebbiug in the General Catalogue, 

 1910, records only two species. In 1914 were added : 



Liriopsis sp., from Durban, by Brady (Ann. Durban Mus. vol. 1, 

 pt, 1, p. 7, pi. 3, tigs. 9-15). 



Hemiarthrus nematocarciiii by Stebbing (Ann. S.A. Mus. vol. 15, 

 pt. 1, p. 47, fig.). 



Znnopliryxus quinquedens by Barnard (ibid. vol. 10, pt. 7, p. 228, 

 pi. 22). 



Together with the species recorded below the number of the South 

 African Epicaridea now totals 11. 



With regard to the explanation of Brady's figui-es of Liriopsis, it 

 may be remarked that, presumably by misprint, fig. 12 is labelled 

 " first foot," whereas its structure shows it to be either the 6th or 7th ; 

 fig. 14 labelled as " second foot ? " may be either the 1st or 2nd. 



FAMILY BOPYRIDAE.

The separation of the two genera Pseudione and Palaeyyge accord ing 

 to the presence or absence of warts on the pleopods of the female 

 proposed by Giard and Bonnier and accepted by Stebbing (Hist. 

 Crust, 1893, p. 410), is not recognised by Sars (Crust, Norw. vol. 2, 

 p. 202). It would seem, however, to be a useful division though 

 somewhat arbitrary, and moreover it can be correlated with the habitat: 

 the species of Palaecjyge occur on the Caridea, the species of Pseudione 

 on the Anoinala and Thalassinida.
