nearly as long as the palm, very hairy, the teeth at their base small 

 and concealed in hair; in B. lomjqyes^ adult, the tinkers are only one- 

 half as long- as the palm, very little or not at all hairy. There is one 

 well-developed tooth near the base of the pollex and two either side of 

 it near the base of the dactjdus. 



In B. nipj^onensis^ young, the lingers are longer than the palm; in 

 B. longijx's, young, they are nearl}' as long as the palm.

«In 1899 (Jour. Inst. Jamaica, II, p. 628), I called attention to the fact that tl 

 name Squilla J. C. Fabricius, 1793, was preoccupied for a genus of Amphipoda b| 

 O. F. Miiller, 1776 and 1788, by Scopoli, 1777, and by O. Fabricius, 1780. The on^ 

 available name for the stomatopod genus is Chloridella Miers, 1880. One who co^ 

 siders Chloridella generically distinct from Squilla J. C. Fabricius should substitutej 

 new name for the latter.
