This species was generally distributed in the Malay Archipelago. It was obtained from 

 the plankton collected at the following stations.

This is a rather narrow species. The furcal joints are elongate ovate in shape and are 

 fully twice as long as broad. The apex of each joint is narrowly rounded. The inner margin 

 terminates in a small tooth. 



Sapphirina ovatolanceolata has been recorded from the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, and 

 from the Mediterranean.

Four specimens belonging to this species were obtained from the plankton collected at 

 the three following stations.

The male and female of this Sapphirina are moderately wide forms. The furcal joints 

 are narrowly oval in shape. Each joint is rather less than twice as long as broad. The apex 

 of the joints is broadly rounded. The distal end of the inner margin is produced into a well 

 defined tooth. 



Sapphirina scarlata has been recorded from the Indian and Pacific Oceans, and from 

 the Mediterranean.
