Om tvS, for vetenskapen nya Amfipod-species fr^n Bohuslan, af hvilka det ena 

 ar typ for ett nytt genus inom Pontoporeinernas grupp. Ofversigt af Kongl.

This short paper describes a new genus, BoecMa, which is said to come close to Pontoporeia, 

 Kroyer; BuecMa typica, n. sp., in which the second gnathopod has a very long wrist and a 

 very short hand, with the side-plate covering tliat of the first gnathopod and exceeding in 

 size each of those that follow it. There is further a description of " Pardalisca BoecMi," n. 

 sp., and figures of both species. 



The new genus BoecMa is thus described :—" Epimera primi paris ab iis secundi paris occulta, 

 hiEC omnium maxima. Carpus pedum secundi paris vakle elongatus ; manus perbrevis, 

 vix prehensilis. Pedes qiitnti, sexti, septimi paris longitudine sensim accrescentes ; 

 articulus primus paris septimi parum dilatatus. Pedes saltatorii perbreves, aculeis validis 

 armati. Appendix caudalis perbrevis, postice leviter emarginata, non vero fissa. Lamina 

 interior maxilte primi paris elongata, perparum lata, extremitate setis nonnullis praedita. 

 Pedes maxillares elongati ; lamina exterior angusta, margiue interiore dentibus elongatis 

 instructo ; articuli palpi graciles." The genus is named in honour of Axel Eoeck, who 

 mentions Pardalisra Boecldi both in 1870 and in his later work, but in neither takes any 

 notice of the genus Boeclda. Yet the description which Boeck himself gives of 

 Leptoclieirus pilosus, Zaddach, tallies so completely with Malm's figures of BoecMa typica, 

 as to leave no doubt that they refer to the same species. Since, however, Malm's name is 

 not included in Boeck's list of authors, and his name only, without the title of his work, is 

 cited as authority for Pardalisca BoecMi, it is possible or even probable that the work 

 itself for some reason never came into Boeck's hands.

Under Amphipoda, page 497, he mentions the following species : — " 61 . OirJtestoidea tuherculata, 

 Nic. Common on the sandy beach of San Carlos de Ancud, Chiloe." "62. AUorchestes 

 p)atagonicus, n. sp. (PI. LIX. fig. 14). A single specimen of an AUorchestes, apparently 

 undescribed, was taken by me in a freshwater stream in the neighbourhood of the Chilian 

 settlement of Punta Arenas (Sandy Point) in the Strait of Magellan. Unfortunately it is 

 considerably injured ; so I abstain from describing it, and content myself with bestowing 

 upon it the above provisional name." It may be presumed that this is some species of 

 Hyalella. The figure appears to give nine pera'on-segments with ten side-plates attached to 

 them. " 63. Atylus 1 Batei, n. sp. (PL LIX. fig. 9). Cephalon not produced into a rostrum. 

 Eyes oblique. A mesial dorsal carina. Last segment of pereion, and first four of pleon, 

 produced into dentiform processes." " A single specimen from Possession Bay, Strait of
