\y cirri longer, from one seventh to one fourth of the arm length, with löngèr 

 segments of which the longest proximal are at least twice as long as the 

 median diameter and the two preceding the antepenultimate are markedly 

 longer than broad, and often elongated; centrodorsal low hemispherical or 

 low conical, never discoidal, always with strongly sloping sides and a moderate 

 to very small dorsal pole 



c 1 cirrus segment preceding the antepenultimate three times as long as the 

 median diameter, or longer; cirri slender and delicate, almost as delicate 

 as those of longicirra, with not more than 10 segments of which the 

 proximal are about three times as long as the diameter of the much 

 swollen ends, and the antepenultimate is about twice as long as broad ; 

 all the cirrus segments have greatly expanded distal ends, this becoming 

 less marked distally; arms 15 mm. to 35 mm. (rarely more than 20 mm.) 

 long; cirri with 8 — 10 (usually 8 — 9) segments, 4.0 mm. to 4.5 mm. long; 

 Pj with 10 — 12 segments; P„ about half as long, with 7 segments (Ti mor 

 and Flores to the Moluccas, Celebes and the Sulu Archi- 



pelago; o — 275 |?40o] Me tres) parvijlora 



c 3 cirrus segment proceding the antepenultimate not more than twice as long 

 as the median diameter, and often much shorter, cirri less slender, with 

 not less than 10 segments of which the outer have the distal ends slightly, 

 or not at all, expanded 



d 1 cirri rather stout and very strongly recurved in the outer three fourths; 

 antepenultimate cirrus segment as long as, or very slightly longer than, 

 broad; P 1 8.5 mm. long with 17 — 18 segments; P 2 4.0 mm. long with 

 11 segments; arms 45 mm. long cirri XXX, 10 — 12, 8 mm. to 9 mm. 



long (Moluccas; 45 Me tres) iris 



d 2 cirri more slender, and less strongly recurved in the outer portion ; 

 antepenultimate segment markedly longer than broad, usually about 

 twice as long as broad; P : with not more than 15 segments; arms 30 mm. 

 to 70 mm. (usually 30 mm. to 45 mm.) long; cirri XV — XXX, 12 — 14, 

 7 mm. to 8 mm. long

 distal edges (T o k y o Bay, Japan, and southward t o F o r-
