 Edwards), . .........

prseoc." l>axis, ridge of the back, -rpoVis, keel. (See Amphithonolus and Tritropis), 

 Rhcea, Milne-Edwards 1828, 'from rhcea, wild poppy. A synonym of Apscudcs, Leach, not 



generally considered an Amphipod genus, ...... 



Sannazaria, O. G. Costa and A. Costa, 1840. Apparently named after Sannazaiius, a writer 



of piscatory eclogues ; see Johnson, Rambler, July 21, 1750, 

 Scamballa, Leach, MS., White, 1847. ? from scambus, bow-legged. ( = Orcheslia, Leach), 

 Schizoscelus, Claus, 1879. axK<», I split, cr/ce'Aos, leg; in allusion to the slit in th

Scina, qual celebre conoscitore delle scicnze naturali," .... J 



Scopclocheirus, Spence Bate, 1856-7. Seemingly from tncoirtkos, a high rock, and x^P> hand ; 



but as White, Hist. Brit. Crust., p. 168, says "First pair of jaw-feet ending in a brush," | 



"Hence the generic name, from iTKoirri^os, a brush, and x e 'P> the hand," it may be 



inferred that it is in reality a hybrid from Latin scopula, a little broom, and Greek \tip, 



hand ; j-kowtiKos being an imaginary word. ( = Callisoma, Costa), 



Seba, Spence Bate, 2 1862. After Seba, the eminent naturalist, 



1 The name Iihabdonectcs was given under the impression that Iihabiloso7iin, Adams and White, was a preoccupied name, but so far as I can 

 discover, the ophidian genus to which Bovallius alludes has a later date and a different spelling, being Jtabdosoma, Duineril, 1853. 



- Spence Bate does not claim this genus as his own, but A. Costa, to whom he assigns it, has definitely disowned it, see Note on de Natale, 

 1850 (in Appendix, p. 1624).
