342 ALLAN HANCOCK PACIFIC EXPEDITIONS VOL. 18 



Remarks. — The epistome of this species was damaged by me in dis- 

 section and its condition is unknown. In many respects the species re- 

 sembles Harpiniopsis epistomatus n. sp. It must remain unnamed until 

 further specimens have been collected. It is labeled "D-2" in the USNM 

 collections. 



The first uropods of the specimen were missing. 



Genus Pseudharpinia Schellenberg 



Pseudharpinia Schellenberg 1931: 81-82. 



Diagnosis. — Article 4 of maxillipedal palp with 2-3 long apical setae ; 

 eyes absent; article 2 of peraeopod 3 narrow; uropods 1 and 2 with 

 distal spines on rami ; antenna 2 with ensiform process on article 2 ; telson 

 stunted. 



Type species. — P. dentata Schellenberg 1931. 



Remarks. — There are no distinct qualitative features which distin- 

 guish this genus from some members of Harpinia or Harpiniopsis. The 

 male is unknown. 



However, the peculiar combination of quantitative differences the 

 type species exhibits should be recognized, for the time being, by the 

 retention of this category, until additional similar species are discovered. 



The head crest is not unique, being found in one or more species 

 of Harpiniopsis. The stunted telson, third uropods and the ensiform 

 process of antenna 2 suggest that the type species is an eyeless Hetero- 

 phoxus. The distally spinose rami of uropods 1 and 2 are known to a 

 lesser degree in Harpiniopsis sanpedroensis n. sp. 



Pseudharpinia dentata Schellenberg 

 (Plate 75) 



Pseudharpinia dentata Schellenberg 1931: 82-83, fig. 42. 



Material examined. — Swedish State Museum Cat. No. 6643, Lago- 

 towia, 10 fd (15). 



Remarks. — The epistome is rounded in front. The head is attached 

 to the body so that the lower front edge tilts down from the axis of the 

 body. The dorsal keel of the head is hyaline and striated.
