Type: A male dredged in 76 fathoms off Cape Lobos, on the east 

 side of the Gulf of California, March 24, 1889 {Albatross Sta. 3016), 

 has been selected as the type (U.S.N. M. No. 18462). It measures, in 

 median length exclusive of the rostrum, 96 mm.; the rostral plate 3^ 

 mm.; the carapace 21; abdomen and telson together 75; telson alone 

 19.

 Gulf of California {Albatross Sta. 3016, March 24, 1889). Tel- 

 son. 



Remarks: Three specimens from Punta Arenas, Costa Rica, which 

 Miss Boone identified with "Squilla panamensis variety B," may belong 

 here, for the illustration which she furnishes has the prelateral angles or 

 lobes of the telson spined. Lunz called attention to this fact. However, 

 the raptorial dactyli of Miss Boone's specimen, as drawn, are armed each 

 with 5 teeth, including the terminal one, while the submedian carinae of 

 the 2nd and 3rd abdominal somites are represented in both the figure 

 and text as being posteriorly spined, as well as those of the 4th, 5th, and 

 6th somites. In none of the Gulf of California specimens that I have had 

 the opportunity to examine are there less than 6 teeth on the raptorial 

 dactylus, nor are the submedian carinae of the 2nd and 3rd abdominal 

 somites posteriorly spined.
