Nephrops Leach. 



The genus Nephrops comprises at present 8 species, 6 of which are inhabitants of the 

 Indopacific region. Nephr. norwegicus (Linné), the Norway Lobster, is found on all the Scandi- 

 navian coast, on that of Scotland, Holland, Belgium and France, all round the Irish coasts, 

 like also on the South coast of England, in the Mediterranean and Adriatic and finally on the 

 coast of Morocco. It has, however, not yet been recorded from the Hebrides, Shetlands or 

 Faeroes, but the Norway Lobster is so plentiful off the south coast of Iceland, that it forms 

 there the chief food of the cod (C. M. Selbie). Nephr. rubcllus Moreira is known from the 

 coast of Brazil between 43 and 43°3c/W. of Greenwich; this species presents, in distinction 

 from Nephr. norwegicus, the characters common to the indopacific species and appears much 

 related to Nephr. japonicus Tapp. Can. This species was described in 1903 by Carlos Moreira 

 in a paper, entitled: "Estudos preliminares. Crustaceos. Rio de Janeiro, 1 903 (Sociedade Nacional 

 de Agricultura. Campanhas de Pesca do hiate "Annie", dos Srs. Bandeira and Bravo)", a 

 paper that has not been recorded in the "Zoological Record" neither for this nor for the 

 following years. 



Nephr. japonicus Tapp. Can., described in 1873, is confined to the seas of Japan and 

 was observed in the Bays of Tokyo and Sagami. Nephr. Thomsoni Sp. Bate is known from 

 Formosa and from the Philippines, Nephr. Challengeri Balss from the sea between Australia 

 and New Zealand and Nephr. andamanicus W.-Mas. from the Andaman Sea and from the
