NO. 3 BARNARD : THE PHOXOCEPHALIDAE 311 



6. Article 4 of peraeopod 5 is almost as long as articles 5 and 6 

 combined, while in L. falcatus it is only slightly longer than articles 5 

 and 6 combined. 



7. The inner plate of the maxilliped is not acuminate as drawn by 

 Sars 1895, pi. 50. 



Male. — Uropod 3 is the same as on the female; antenna 2 is nearly 

 as long as the body, article 4 of the peduncle bearing thick clusters of 

 dorsal hairs. 



Holotype. — AHF No. 5313, female, 3.75 mm. 



Type locality. — Station 2413-53, 11.5 mi ENE of Long Point, Caro- 

 lina Island light, 33-30-00 N, 118-10-00 W, 205 fms, muddy clay 

 bottom, Sept. 17, 1953. 



Remarks. — The genus Leptophoxus is rarely collected in southern 

 California and this may indicate that it is at the southern limits of its 

 distribution in shallow water. 



Material examined. — 13 specimens at 8 stations. 

 Distribution. — Southern California slopes, 136 to 277 fms. Santa 

 Catalina Basin, 612 fms; San Pedro Basin, 470 fms. 



Genus Proharpinia Schellenberg 



Proharpinia Schellenberg 1931: 80. 



Diagnosis. — Article 2 of peraeopod 3 narrow; eyes present; article 

 2 of antenna 2 lacks an ensiform process; lower anterior corner of 

 head produced. 



Type species. — P. antipoda Schellenberg 1931. 



Remarks. — This genus differs from Heterophoxus Shoemaker 

 mainly in the lack of an ensiform process on the second article of 

 antenna 1. However, all of the species I am assigning to this genus 

 also have the lower corner of the head produced, which may prove to 

 be a conservative generic character.
