Phyllodoce longipes, Kinberg. 



Monro, 1930, p. 73, fig. 21, with synonymy. 

 Occurrence. St. WS 239 (i); WS 841 (i). 



Specific characters. The head is cordiform and has a nuchal papilla. The tenta- 

 cular formula is i+JS \-B-^rj. The feet are sesquiramous and have a small 



ai aJM ^ 



aciculum running up the broad dorsal cirrophore. The dorsal cirrus is more or less 

 ear-shaped with the long axis at right angles to the cirrophore. The pedal lobe has a 

 small digitiform process at its end, and the ventral cirri are large, foliaceous and 

 pointed. 



The papillation of the proboscis is unknow^n. 



The most complete specimen of this species that I have seen is that described by me 

 {loc. at.) in 1930. This measured no mm. by 7 mm. including the feet for i40chaetigers. 



Phyllodoce patagonica (Kinberg). 



Atiaitides patagonica, Bergstrom, 19 14, p. 147, fig. 46 a-c, with synonymy. 

 Occurrence. St. WS 177 (i); WS 239 (2 juv.); WS 274 (i); WS 771 (6); WS 784 (i); WS 785 (i). 

 Specific characters. A narrow, elongate species with up to about 200 chaetigers. 



A nuchal papilla is present and the tentacular formula is i + O \- B ~^r- In the first 



a\ aN 



few segments the dorsal cirri are broadly lanceolate, but in the middle and hinder 

 region they are more or less rectangular. The ventral cirrus tapers to a point. The 

 papillae of the proboscis are arranged in 13 rows of which one is mid-dorsal and 12 are 

 lateral. There are about five papillae in the mid-dorsal row and nine or ten in the 

 lateral rows. 



Phyllodoce madeirensis, Langerhans. 



Fauvel, 1923, p. 150, fig. 53 d-h. 

 Benham, 1927, p. 74. 



Occurrence. St. 934, New Zealand (2). 



Specific characters. The head is cordiform and there is a nuchal papilla. The 



tentacular formula is i+O \-0 -^,. The dorsal cirri are very variable : they may be 



oval, lanceolate, asymmetrical, straight or incurved, or subrhomboidal. The ventral 

 cirrus is oval and tapers to a point. 



The proboscis carries on each side six lateral rows of 10-12 papillae and usually also 

 a median row of four to six papillae. 



In the present specimens the dorsal cirri are more or less symmetrically lanceolate. 

 There is no median row of papillae. 



Remarks. I cannot agree that this species is the same as P. patagonica, Kinberg. 

 In the first place in P. patagonica there is a small but distinctly developed pedal lobe 

 with bristles in the third tentacular segment, which is wholly absent in madeirensis; 

 and in the middle and hinder regions the dorsal cirri have a constant and characteristic 

 subrectangular form.
