Fig. 18. a. Hemisquilla stylifera, male from southern California, 

 telson, and last abdominal somite; h. H. braziliensis from Ilha 

 Rosa, Estado Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, telson and last abdominal 

 somite. 



Distribution: As summarized by Kemp, this species "has been re- 

 corded from Chili (Milne-Edwards, Nicolet, Miers), from California 

 (Bigelow, Holmes), from the Hawaiian Islands ( Randall ),^^ and from 

 Newcastle Bight, New South Wales (Whitelegge). It is strange that 

 the species has not been found on the New Zealand coast." It has also 

 been recorded from Juan Fernandez (Porter). 



58 Balss believes (Bronns Klassen und Ordnungen des Tierreichs, Vol. 5, Abt. 

 1, Book 6, Pt. 2, Stomatopoda, p. 138, 1938) that this old record of Randall's, still 

 uncorroborated, is based on a mistaken identification of P. ciliata, common in the 

 Islands.
