Paratylus falca tus (Metzger) . 



Little Orme ; Colwyn Bay. White with a red spot on 

 the back of each segment except the fourth pleon. Length 

 5 mm. 



Para%te^?icmai7^5(Sars,OversigtafNorg.Crust.,p.l02). 



Eed Wharf Bay, Anglesea, 20 f., 8/6/89. This species 

 which has been accidentally united by Sars in his Norwe-

 very abundant ; adult males at electric light, Port Erin, 

 21/4/89. Length 5 mm. It is remarkable that the emar- 

 gination of the ant. margin of prop, of the first gnath. in 

 the adult males of this species which caused Nebeski to 

 make a distinct species of it (T. dolichonyx) should have 

 escaped the notice of so many carcinologists, including 

 even so careful and accurate an observer as Prof. G. 0. 

 Sars. Canon A. M. Norman informs me that such males
