Pallene hispida, Stimpson, Invertebrata of Grand Manan, 

 p. 37, 1853. PseurtajHillene hispida, Stimpson (sp.), 

 Wilson, Amer. Jour, of Sc. and Arts, vol. xv. p. 200, 

 1878, Trans. Connect. Acad., v. 10, 1880. Wilson 

 considers tbis species, wbicb is a true Pallene, as repre- 

 senting a new genus, wbicb be calls Pseudopallene. 

 But tbere is no difference in tbe number of the joints of 

 the ovigerous legs, and tbe presence or absence of auxi- 

 liary claws furnishes by no means a trustworthy ground 

 for division of the genus. "This species is very sunilar 

 to tbe last (P. discoidea, Kroyer) and a larger number 

 of specimens may show them to be identical " (Wilson, 

 ibid.). 



Pallene lappa, Bohm, Pycnogoniden des Museums zu 

 Berlin, Monatsber. der K. Ak. der Wissensch. zu 

 Berlin, 182, 1879. I was long in doubt whether tbis 

 species was a true Pallene or a Phoxichilidium. I 

 have arrived at the conclusion that it is indeed a 

 Pallene, but a young one, with not quite developed 

 ovigerous legs. 

 I}) Pallene circidaris, (j:OQ(is\x,'EAm. New Phil. Journal, vol. 

 xx'xii. p. 136, 1842. Goodsir's description is insuffi- 

 cient. Perhaps tbis species is nearly allied to P. 

 discoidea, Kroyer, Bidrag til Kundskab, Naturbist. 

 Tidskr., Ny Eaekke., i. 120, 1845. 



Pallene malleolata, G. 0. Sars, Crustacea et Pycnogonida 

 nova, Arch. f. Math. og. Naturvid., iv. 469, 1879. 

 Seems to be a .'species characteristic of tbe higher 

 northern latitudes.

Phoxichilidium, Milne-Edwards (1840). 



Basis of the proboscis dorsally covered by the front part of tbe cepbalotboracic segment. 

 On this front part the oculiferous tubercle is placed. Mandibles cbeliform ; palpi 

 wanting ; ovigerous legs five- to ten- (?) jointed, the last four joints never furnished 

 with denticulate spines ; in some species present in both sexes, in others only in tbe 

 male sex.
