NO. 3 BARNARD : THE PHOXOCEPHALIDAE 235 



its lower edge rounded ; sweep point near distal end of article 3 ; posterior 

 edge with about 9 minute teeth; rest of appendage slender, article 6 

 longer than 5, article 7 moderately long. 



Uropods 1-2: apices of rami each bear a short, articulated spine; 

 uropod 1 with a few long peduncular spines, the distalmost being the 

 stoutest; rami with small spines. 



Uropod 2 with short, crowded spines on peduncle, outer ramus with 

 4 small spines, inner ramus with one. 



Uropod 3: inner ramus as long as article 1 of outer ramus; article 

 2 of outer ramus about one fifth as long as article 1. 



Telson broad, apices broadly rounded, notched laterally, each notch 

 with 1 to 3 short spines, less than three indicating that they are broken 

 off. 



Third epimeron: posterior edge nearly straight, lower corner softly 

 quadrate, lower posterior edge with 4 stiff setae. 



Female. — Unknown. 



Holotype. — AHF No. 5114, male, 4 mm. 



Type locality. — Station 2047-51, Emerald Cove, Santa Catalina 

 Island, 33-28-04 N, 118-31-21 W, dip net, July 27, 1951. 



Remarks. — Unfortunately no female animals have been discovered. 

 It is essential that they be described in order to indicate the relationship 

 of this species to P. simplex (Gurjanova 1938: 272). Any differences 

 between the two species might lie in the length of the inner ramus of 

 the third uropod, in the size of the eyes, in the epistome and the third 

 epimera, but the latter two criteria are unknown in P. simplex so that 

 the two species cannot be differentiated at this time. 



The close relationship of P. cognatus to P. si?nilis n. sp. is discussed 

 under the latter heading. 



Material examined. — 78 specimens at 2 stations. 



Distribution. — Dipnetted at night near Santa Catalina Island and 

 identified from a station on the east slope of San Pedro Basin, 177 fms.
