ISOPUDA. 1 1 



First pleopods indurated ; second with 



male appendix attached at base of inner 



ramus. li. Conilera, Leach, 1818. 



First pleopods not indurated ; second with 



male appendix attached far from base 



of inner ramus. 7. Conilorpheus, n. gen., 1905. 



In addition to these some authors include in this family the huge-eyed Bathynomus, 

 A. Milxe-Edwards, 187'J, which has the two abnormal characters of an accessory 

 branch on the first antennae and supplementary branchiae on the pleopods, the blind 

 Anuropus, Beddard, 1886, in which the uropods resemble the pleopods in character, 

 and the maxillipeds have a one-jointed palp, and Branchuropus, H. F. Moore, 1902, 

 which agrees with Anuropus in the characters just mentioned, but differs from it by 

 possessing eyes and in the general habit of body. I am disposed to allot Bathynomus 

 to a separate family Bathynomidse, and the other two genera to a family Anuropidse, 

 as already suggested for the former of them in 1893. 



A. Dollfus ('Ann. Sci. Nat.,' Zool., Ser. 8, vol. 20, p. 271) now transfers his genus 

 Sphceromides, 1898, to the "family Cirolanidae, and institutes in that family a new 

 genus Faucheria for C<Bcospk(eroma faucheri, Dollfus and Vire, 1900, to which be 

 believes that SpelceosphcBroma julium, Feruulio, 1904, is nearly allied.

The species assigned to this genus are now very numerous, and it must be 

 considered a fortunate circumstance that there is no necessity for transferring them 

 to Xeloeira, which lapses as practically a nomeu nudum. The references above given 

 will enable the student to trace a far longer list. The blind C cubensis, W. P. Hay, 

 1903, needs to be compared with C. area. Dollfus, 1903.
