COMISSIA HARTMEYERI, new species. 



Description. — Centrodorsal thin discoidal, the dorsal pole flat, 

 about 1 mm. in diameter. 



Cirri VIII-XIV (usually about X), 10-13 (usually 12 or 13), 4.5 

 to 6 mm. (usually about 5 mm.) long. The first segment is short, 

 the second about as long as broad, the third from two to three times 

 as long as its median diameter; the fourth segment is the longest, 

 three and one-half to four times as long as the median diameter; 

 the fifth is not quite so long; the following segments rapidly decrease 

 in length so that the ninth and following are about as long as broad; 

 the fifth is a transition segment; the longer proximal segments are 

 oval in cross section and are strongly ''dice-box shaped," but the 

 outer short segments have straight sides and are strongly compressed
