2ÓO 



The antennae, mandibles, maxillae and maxillipedes are of the usual Sapphirina type. 



Male unknown. 



The female of this species is readily separated from any of the other members of the 

 genus by the long narrow furcal joints, and by the outer margin of the joints being nearly 

 straieht and without setae. 



Occurrence. — One specimen was obtained from the plankton collected at Station 

 136, off Ternate Island, Molucca Passage. 



Genus Copilia Dana, 1849. 



The males of this genus resemble the males of Sapphirina in general appearance, but 

 they can readily be separated by their very elongate and narrow furcal joints. The females are 

 easily recognised by the large and somewhat quadrangular cephalic segment, by the moderately 

 long anal segment, and by the long slender furcal joints. 



Three species were represented in the plankton collected by the 'Siboga' in the Malay 

 Archipelago.

This species proved to be comparatively common and widely distributed in the area 

 traversed by the 'Siboga'. It was present in the plankton collected at the following stations.

The female of this species can readily be recognised by the comparatively long and 

 narrow anal segment, and by the furcal joints being about two and a half times longer than 

 the anal segment.
