PARDALISCIDAE 133 



irregular oval figure, the lower edge of which extends on to the coxal plates. First three 

 abdominal segments each with a large oval spot of purple on each side and with reddish 

 suffusion near the inferior edges. Eyes black. An ill-defined red patch at base of each 

 thoracic limb and streaks of purple on second segment of last three thoracic limbs. 

 Appendages otherwise colourless". 



The specimens from St. 42 and 45 are now white, with black eyes, and purplish 

 marks along the sides, a patch on each peraeon segment and on pleon segments 1-3, 

 also on basal part of 2nd joints of peraeopods 3-5.

Pardalisca abyssoides, n.sp. 



Occurrence: St. 190. Palmer Archipelago (90-130 m.). 1 <J 23 mm. 



Description. Very close to abyssi Boeck. Cutting edge of mandible not strongly 

 dentate, the 4th (posterior) denticle remote from the other three. Apex of outer plate 

 of maxilliped slightly oblique, the outer apical angle further forward than the inner. 

 Distal margin of maxillary palp truncate (not rounded as in Stebbing's figure, 1888, 

 pi. xciii), with not more than ten spines. 



Gnathopod 2, 5th joint distinctly more expanded at base than in either Stebbing's 

 (loc. cit) or Sars' (1895, pi. cxliii, fig. 1) figures. The unguiform dactyl in both gnatho- 

 pods almost as long as 6th joint. 



Peraeopods 1 and 2, 4th and 5th joints more expanded, especially in peraeopod 1. 

 Peraeopods 3-5, hind margin of 2nd joints straight, or slightly concave in peraeopods 

 4 and 5, noticeable proximal to the apical rounded lobe; 2nd joint in peraeopods 3 and 4 

 certainly narrower than in Sars' figure. 



Eyes not visible, but probably represented by a small patch of white tissue beneath 

 the cuticle. 



Remarks. This constitutes the first record of Pardalisca in Antarctic waters, 

 P. marionis being reckoned sub-Antarctic, and is further evidence of the similarity, and 

 in some cases very close similarity, of the Arctic and Antarctic faunas.
