Bate states that he received specimens from Laughrin of 

 Polperro, which were procured either from the throat of a 

 Codfish, or from the skin of the common Dogfish (Sqnalus 

 acanthiax). The types of Kroyer were taken from under the 

 fins of a Sturgeon and from Syualus galens Dr. Robertson sent 

 us specimens from the Firth of Clyde which he had taken on 

 the Cod; Delia Valle's Mediterranean examples were found 

 on a very large example of Lop/tius piscatorius, and Sars 

 obtained it on Raia batis.

We have removed this species from the family Ponto- 

 poreiidae and placed it in the Syrrhoidse, as the genus seems 

 to us to have no relation to the former, while its closest 

 neighbour appears to be the genus Tiron, to which it shows 

 relationship in its antennules and antennae, the mouth-organs 

 and the gnathopods, and even the metasome. Sars was not 

 satisfied with its position as placed by him, and suggested its 

 having closer relationship to the Ampeliscidse. 



A single specimen taken off Exmouth, 1904 (J. M. 3.).
