9. South African Crustacea (Part X of S. A. Crustacea, for the Marine 

 Investigations in South Africa). By the Eev. THOMAS E. E. 

 STEBBINO, M.A., F.E.S., F.L.S., F.Z.S., Fellow of King's College, 

 London, Hon. Memb. of New Zealand Inst., Hon. Fellow of 

 Worcester College, Oxford. 



(Plates XVIII-XXVII of Vol. XVII. Plates XCVIII-CVII of 



Crustacea.) 



OF the thirty-six species noted in this contribution ten are regarded as 

 new to science, and for three of them new genera have been named, 

 Dairoides in the family Xanthidae of the Cyclometopa, Xeinostoma in 

 the family Cyclodorippidae of the Oxystomata, and Hapaloptyx in the 

 family Uroptychidae of the Galatheidea. Notice is taken of Dr. Ihle's 

 identification of my genus NasinataHs, 1910, with Corycodus, A. Milne- 

 Edwards. 1880, and the transfer of Corycodus disjunctives from the 

 Eauinidae to the Cyclodorippidae. The specific validity of Platymaia 

 turbynei is accepted, as proposed or suggested by Miss Eathbuu. 



Mr. Keppel Barnard has pointed out to me that the locality given in 

 Part IX, p. 26, of this series for Hyastenus uncifer, Caiman, is 

 misleading, since " Pietermaritzburg is at least 50 miles from the sea." 

 Whatever the explanation may be, my authority was correctly quoted. 

 Perhaps Pieterniaritzburg was only added to indicate whereabouts in 

 Natal the " Umsunduzi Eiver " should be looked for, without any 

 intention to imply that the marine species had visited the inland town. 



It may be worth mentioning that the paper has been unavoidably 

 curtailed and its publication considerably delayed, owing to those 

 gigantic troubles, still reluctantly subsiding, which have extended 

 their interference to efforts the most unambitious and peaceful.
