Conchoecia bispinosa Claus. 



For synonymy and description see Skogsberg, 1920, p. 672, fig. cxxviii. 



This species occurred in samples from stations WS 976, 986, 996 and 997. Skogsberg (1920) has 

 pointed out the close resemblance between this species and C. haddoni Brady & Norman. The two 

 species are distinguishable by the short spines on the posterior dorsal angle of the shell of C. bispinosa 

 and the number of spines on the principal setae of the first antennae of the males. Skogsberg states 

 (1920, p. 675) that the areas of distribution of the two species do not coincide. Muller (1906, 1908), 

 however, recorded the two species from the same plankton samples, and in the samples at present under 

 consideration they also occur together. There must then be at least an overlap in their distribution. 



Conchoecia chuni Muller. 



For synonymy and description see Skogsberg, 1920, p. 636, fig. CXix. 



A single adult female occurred in the 250-100 m. sample from Station WS 996. 



Conchoecia curta Lubbock. 



The synonymy of this species is extremely complex and uncertain. Skogsberg (1920) discussed the 

 position and re-described the species. The material from the Benguela current first survey clearly falls 

 within the scope of the species as described by him. It was present in large numbers, of both adults
