NO. 3 HARTMAN : ORBINIIDAE, APISTOBRANCHIDAE, PARAONIDAE 295 



Scoloplos {Leodamas) fimbriatus approaches S. (L.) johnstonei Day 

 in having smooth thoracic uncini. The two differ in that the first has 

 about 30, the second about 23 thoracic segments; branchiae are first 

 present from the seventh segment in the first and from the sixth in the 

 second. Subpodial lobes are multiple in the first and limited to only two 

 lobes on the last thoracic segments in the second species. 



S. (L.) fimbriatus might have affinities with Scoloplos novae-hol- 

 landiae Kinberg (1866, p. 252, and 1910, p. 63, pi. 24, fig. 8) from 

 Sydney, New South Wales. According to Augener (1922c, p. 41, fig. 

 9), who emended the original account, the latter has thoracic neuro- 

 podial setae of three kinds ; some are short, smooth and slightly curved, 

 others are long and capillary, while still others are transitional. 



Distribution. — Scoloplos {Leodamas) fimbriatus is known only from 

 southern and western ends of Yorke Peninsula, South Australia, in 

 intertidal sands.

Alcandra robusta Kinberg, 1866, p. 251; Kinberg, 1910, pp. 62-63, pi. 

 24, fig. 6; Hartman, 1948b, p. 106. 

 This species is known only through its original find from off Brazil 

 in 20 to 30 fathoms. The prostomium is pointed conical. The peristom- 

 ium is a simple smooth ring. Branchiae are present from the fifth seti- 

 gerous segment and simple on what remains of the type specimen (only 

 thoracic segments). They were originally said to be both simple and 

 divided (bifid). Neuropodia from the second segment have yellow 

 uncini (fig. 5) accompanied by pointed setae. In so far as known, there- 

 fore, this species can be referred to Scoloplos {Leodamas) Kinberg. 

 More specific designation is possible only by a comparison of collections 

 from the type locality. 



Genus Scolaricia Eisig, 1914 

 Type S. typica Eisig, 1914 



This differs from Scoloplos (see above) in that abdominal neuro- 

 podia have modified setae called flails ("Geisselpfriemen" Eisig, 1914 

 and "soies en fleau" Fauvel, 1927), in addition to typical pointed setae. 

 Only two species are known and both come from the Mediterranean sea 

 (see list of species above).
