1004 A REVISION OF THE AUSTRALIAN ISOPODA, 



Fam. JEgidm. 



Miers describes two new species of Cirolana — C. multidigitata 

 from Albany Passage, Swan River and the Philippines ; C. 

 schiodtei, from Torres Straits ; G. tenuistylis, also from Torres 

 Straits, and a variety of C. lata, mihi from Albany Island. 



Rocinela orientalis, Schibdte and Meinert is stated by Miers 

 (I.e., p. 304) to have been obtained from Torres Straits and 

 Moreton Bay, as well as from the Gulf of Suez, Ceylon, and the 

 Philippines. 



Fam. Sph^eromid.e. 



Miers (I.e., pp. 305-310) describes a new species — Cymodocea 

 lonyitstylis, from Torres Straits and from Singapore ; a new variety 

 of Cerceis bidentata of Milne-Edwards, which he calls asperi- 

 caudata ; he notices the occurrence in Torres Straits and in 

 Western Australia of Giliccua Latreillii (Sphceroma pvbescens) of 

 Milne-Edwards ; and describes an additional variety of that 

 species (C. longispina~) from Bass's Straits. He points out that an 

 additional species of Ciliccea (C . antennalis of White) had been 

 obtained from Swan River. 



He also points out that the generic name Calyptura, which I 

 applied to a curious form of this family having the last segment 

 of the thorax produced into a broad plate, was pre-occupied and 

 proposes to call it Haswellia. 



I have to add the following remarkable new genus. 



Bregmocerella, N,G. 



Oral region immediately in front of the epitsoine (antennary 

 sternum) produced forwards into a long horn-like process. Last 

 segment pi*oduced, pointed. Uropoda with the outer (mobile) 

 ramus rudimentary. 



Bregmocerella tricornis .N. Sp. 

 [Plate LIIL, fig. 1.] 

 The oral process is considerably longer than the head, slender, 

 cylindrical, curved upwards towards the distal end which is slightly
