NO. 1 hartman: goniadidae, glyceridae, nephtyidae 129 



Bay to Anan River and return, Albatross station 4748, August 29, 1905, 

 in 185-300 fms. 



Aglaophamus inermis Ehlers 



Nephthys inermis Hartman, 1940, p. 234, pi. 39, figs. 84-86, pi. 40, 

 fig. 95. 



Collections not previously reported.— 931-39 (2); 1097-40 (1). 



This species is clearly characterized for lacking terminal and sub- 

 terminal papillae on the proboscis; both notopodial and ventral cirri are 

 long and cirriform. 



Distribution. — This occurs on both sides of tropical America and has 

 been recorded also from the Mediterranean Sea and the Gulf of Suez 

 (Monro, 1937, p. 283). It is intertidal to depths of 53 fms. 



Aglaophamus lobophora (Hartman), new combination 



Nephthys lobophora Hartman, 1940, pp. 234-236, pi. 40, figs. 91-94. 



Collections.— (See Hartman, 1940, p. 234). 



This is here referred to Aglaophamus since interramal cirri are in- 

 volute. 



Distribution. — It is known only from Peru in 10-30 fms. 



Aglaophamus lutreus (Baird), new combination 



Nephthys lutrea Baird, 1873, p. 95. 



? Nephthys virgini Ehlers, 1897, pp. 19-23, pi, 1, figs. 9-12. Not Kin- 

 berg, 1866. 



Material examined. — Type specimen of Nephthys lutrea Baird from 

 Otter Island, Patagonia, in the British Museum, London, England and 

 specimens labeled Nephthys virgini by Ehlers, from Patagonia, in the 

 Swedish State Museum, Stockholm, Sweden. 



The type specimen is a single macerated individual. Its published 

 and only account is incomplete but the specimen is now distorted so that 

 parapodial lobes cannot be clearly distinguished. Interramal cirri are 

 seen to be involute, thus this goes to Aglaophamus-, they are long and in- 

 scribe at least a spiral. They are first present though small on the fourth 

 or fifth segment but by the seventh they are much larger. Notopodia 

 have a conspicuous flat, foliaceous cirrus that is located just above the 

 interramal cirrus (notopodial cirrus). Neuropodia have a slender, erect 

 lobe on the superior edge; this is as shown by Ehlers (1897, pi. 1, fig. 

 12) for Nephthys virgini, which I regard as possibly the same. 



Setae include preacicular barred, and postacicular serrated ones ; the 

 serrations are limited in extent and successive rows are widely spaced. 

 This species was originally compared with Nephthys impressa Baird (see
