Miscellaneous. 525 



The classification of these animals will therefore stand thus : — 



Genus Talitrus, 



*Orchestoidea, 

 Talorchestia, 

 Orchestia, 



of which the first and last only are British. 



2. Lysianassa Chausica in the synopsis (not Edwards's) is evi- 

 dently L. longicornis of Lucas (' Exped. to Algiers'). 



3. The genus Tetromatus, mihi, Pseudophthalmus, Stimpson, is 

 synonymous with Ampelisca of Kroyer. This was kindly pointed 

 out to me by Mr. Stimpson f. 



4. The term Pontoporeides cannot stand for that of the sub- 

 family as arranged in the synopsis, inasmuch as Fontoporeia of 

 Kroyer is itself so closely allied to Anonyxy that it must be placed in 

 the subfamily Lysianassides. It is therefore proposed to adopt the 

 term Phoxides for the subfamily that embraces the genus Phoxus^ &c. 



5. Phoxus Krmjerii, mihi, will be changed into P. simplex \ the 

 former specific name having previously been used by Mr. Stimpson 

 in tlie same genus. 



6. After P. Holbdlli, read Kroyer instead of mihi. 



7. The genus Lonchomerus is evidently that of Lalasia of Lucas 

 (* Exped. to Algiers'). 



8. In the genus Iphimedia, the species I. EblancBy mihi (Nat. 

 Hist. Review) is to be added. 



9. In the note relative to Gam. Jluviatilis, instead of to Edwards, 

 reference should have been made to Latreille, *Dict. d'Hist. Nat.* 



10. There is to be added to the genus Siphonocetus of Kroyer the 

 species Cerapus Whitei of Gosse : this may probably be synonymous 

 with S. Kroyer anusy mihi. 



11. In the subfamily CorophiideSy Unciola irrostrata of Say is 

 to be added. But from an examination of Mr. Gosse' s specimen, 

 kindly placed by that gentleman in my possession for the purpose, 

 the species appears to be synonymous with Glauconome leucopis of 

 Kroyer. 



12. After Hyperia ohlivia, read Kroyer instead of Edwards. 



13. Cyamus gracilis (Gosse) should have been C. Thomsoni, 

 Gosse, Ann. Nat. Hist. vol. xviii. 1855. 



I am, Gentlemen, 



Yours obediently, 

 C. Spence Bate. 



* Orchestoidea tuber culata (Nicolet) is synonymous with Talitrus iri' 

 sculptus of Dana. 



t " There being now no animal named TetromatuSy it will be desirable 

 that the title of the subfamily Tetromatides should be changed into Am- 

 peliscades."
