HARMOTHOE TRIMACULATA (Treadwell), new combination 



FiGUEEs yS, a ; 39, */. h 

 Evnrnella trimaculata Treadwell, 1924, p. G (U.S.N.M. no. 20326; West Indies). 



The type of this species has been deposited in the United States 

 National Museum by the University of Iowa. It is being allocated to 

 the genus Hai^motho'e because of the similarity of the neuropodial 

 setae with one another and the anterior position of the eyes. Para- 

 podia are long, extending laterally considerably beyond the scales 

 (fig. 38, a). Dorsal and ventral cirri are hirsute. The nouroacicular 

 lobe is prolonged in a papillar lobe. A typical parapodium (12th) is 

 provided with about 12 stout, pectinated notopodial setae (fig. 39, h) 

 and about 10 sliglitly slenderer, bifid neuropodial setae (fig. 39, a). 

 The ventralmost neuropodial setae have the pectinated region more 

 limited than those more dorsally; it is only about half as long as that 

 of the dorsal most setae. 



11. trimaculata resembles U. variegata Treadwell (1917, p. 2G0) 

 from Florida. I have not seen the type of the latter. The elytral 

 color markings are somewhat different, the anterior eyes much smaller, 

 and the parapodia said to be shorter, but whether these differences are 

 real or of no significance is not certain. 



HARMOTHOE TENEBRICOSA Moore 



Harmothoc tenebricosa Moobe, 1910, p. 351 (U.S.N.M. no. 16877; California). 

 Eunoe exociilata Treadwell, 1923, p. 4 (U.S.N.M. no. 19148; Lower California). 



Eurwe exoculata is identical with llarmothoe tenebricosa. The 

 general aspect of E. exoculata is darker and the setae are a deeper 

 amber color. A paratype of H. tenehricosa (U.S.N.M. no. 17153) is 

 somewhat darker than the type but not so dark as E. exoculata. In 

 other respects the two types are very similar. The characteristic 

 neuropodial lobes, setae, and prostomium readily distinguish this 

 species (cf. figures of Moore, 1910, and Treadwell, 1923). 



HARMOTHOE TRIANNULATA Moore 



Harmothoe trlavvulnia ]Moore, 1910, p. 346 (U.S.N.M. no. ]7]r)4; California). 

 ? Harmothoe honitevsis Esseneerg, 1917, p. 48 (California). 



The description of //. honitensis agrees reasonably well with that 

 of H. triannulata. I have seen Essenberg's type at the University 

 of California and Moore's type at the National Museum but have 

 not compared them side by side.
