LYCAEIDAE 291 



Genus Sympronoe, Stebb. 

 Stebbing, 1888, p. 1533. 



Sympronoe parva (Claus). 



Claus, 1887, p. 55, pi. xiv, figs. 13-18. 



Stebbing, 1888, p. 1533, pi. cxcii and p. 1537, pi. cxciii, fig. B (propinqua). 



Shoemaker, 1925, p. 42, figs. 14, 15 (anomala). 



Stephensen, 1925 a, p. 162, fig. 58; and var. j-articulata, p. 162, figs. 59, 60. 



Spandl, 1927, p. 225, fig. 43. 



Occurrence: St. 286. East mid- Atlantic. 1 $ 6 mm., 1 ? 6-5 mm. 



Remarks. There seems to me no reason for regarding propinqua and anomala as 

 separate species. Shoemaker's species has three terminal joints in peraeopod 5; 

 Stephensen 's var. y-articulata has the full number of joints. Spandl refers to the 

 variability of parva. The present $ has the triangular telson of propinqua and two 

 terminal joints in peraeopod 5. 



Distribution. Mediterranean; Atlantic, io° N-io° S; Indo-Pacific.

Lycaea nasuta, Claus. 



Claus, 1887, p. 62, pi. xviii, figs. 1-7. 

 Barnard, 1930, p. 430, fig. 59. 



Occurrence: 1. St. 89. South-east Atlantic. 1 ^ 8 mm. 



2. St. 286. East mid-Atlantic. 1 ovig. $ 8 mm. 



Remarks. This species has not hitherto been reported from the Atlantic. 



The $ is more like a Thamneus in shape, having the head and peraeon twice as broad 

 as in the <$. The projection of the lower distal corner of the 6th joint in gnathopods 1 

 and 2 is very small, i.e. the distal width is scarcely twice the basal width of the dactylus, 

 which is very short. Dactyls of peraeopods 1-4 very short. 



Distribution. Zanzibar; New Zealand.
