REPORT ON THE AMPHIPODA. 329 



Leptomera, Naupredia, Cercops, JEginn, and Caprella. Cyamus is spoken of as non-para- 

 sitic, and the Cijamus from BaJxna australis is supposed to be identical with that from 

 Balxna viysticetus. The genus Nmipredia, Latreille, is uphold against those carcinologista 

 who have supposed it to represent a mutilated Leptomera. A new species, Naupredia 

 h-ist/s, is figured and, described, but it is very obvious that a young and mutilated specimen 

 of Proto ventricosa is in question. Considering the habit of the Caprellidse of clinging to 

 supports by their hind perseopods, to liave one of the family naturally destitute of these 

 limbs would be most surprising. Caprella ohesa, also described as new, is thought by 

 Mayer to be possibly the young of Caprella acutifrons, Latreille. The specimen was only 

 two millimetres in length. 



1861. Grube, Adolph Eduard, born 1812, died June 24, 1880 (Friedlander, Naturse 

 novitates).

 Thierwelt dieses Gebietes. Berlin, 1861. 



The following species are described as new, pp. 135-138, 1. Lysianagea ciliafa, said by Grube to be 

 " L. humili Cost, simillima," by J. V. Carus, 1885, who quotes the description, thought to 

 be possibly the same as Lysianassa audouiniana, Sp. Bate, but separated both from that 

 species, and from the genus Lysianassa by the telson, see Note on Grube, 1866. 2. 

 Amphifhoe hrevitarsis, which Grube in 1864, re-named Dexamine hrevitarsis ; 3. Amplntho'd 

 {Hyale) istrica, which he called Nicea istrica in 1864, and which may stand as Hyale 

 istrica, or as Hyale prevostii, M.-Edw. (see Sp. Bate, 1865); 4. Ampldtlioe {AmpiJiitonotus) 

 anisopus, which in 1864 he called Dexamine anisopus, a species obviously founded on a 

 malformed specimen of Dexamine spiniventris, Costa; 5. Amphifhoe (Amphitonotus) 

 leptonyx, in 1864 re-named Dexamine leptonyx, and separated by some not very striking 

 marks of distinction from Dexamine tenuicornis, Eathke ; 6. Gammarus recurviis, which in 

 1864 he named Crangonyx recurvus ; 7. Colomastix piusilla, the typ)e of a new genus thus 

 defined : — 



" Genus ad Podocerum accedens, corpore depresso-rotundatum epimeribus humilibus. Antennx 

 breves, articulis paucis, flagellis distinctis nullis, nee tamen pediformes. Pedis paris Imi 

 styliformes, 2di subchelaeformes, proximorum 5 ambulatorii." 



In the list headed, " Ausbeute von Triest, Fiume, Portor6 und Cherso," besides the species 

 already mentioned, Grube records, p. 125, the capture of Lysianassa longicornis, Lucas ; 

 Lysianassa spinicornis, Costa; AmphUhne piida, Eathke; Gamraanis olivii, M.-Edw.; 

 Gammarus Tocnsta, Linn.; Leucothoe denticulata, Costa. At page 24 he mentions Podoccrus 

 pulchellus in a sponge, and at page 73 "eine Gammarine," taken among stones on the 

 banks of the Wanasee, therefore no doubt the Crangonyx recurvus, already named.
