NO. 1883. A NEW ISOPOD FROM JAPAX—IilClIARUSOS. 29 



Cleantis planicaitda Benedict, Cleantis linearis Dana, Cleantis granulosa 

 Heller, and Cleantis occidentalis Richardson also have the narrow body 

 and short fourth pair of legs. The tube-dwelling habit is perhaps 

 common to all these species. 



0%\ing to the differences in the shape of the body, which is broader 

 and more flattened, and in the character of the legs, and to the fact 

 that the abdomen is composed of but two segments, Cleantis isopus 

 Miers should not be retained in this genus. I suggest a new genus 

 for its reception, with the name Oleantiella.
