This species was first descriljed in 1861 under the genus 

 Gonodactylus by Adam ^^'hite of the British ^Museum from a 

 specimen taken at INIatuka, Fiji Islands. In 1880 E. J. Miers, also 

 of the British Museum, in a descriptive list of the known Squil- 

 lidae described the same specimen. 



^\^ K. Brooks in 1886 established the genus Protosquilla 

 an<l pu])lished a detailed description of this species, including it 

 under the new generic term. The specimen described by Brooks 

 was taken by the "Challenger"" at Honolulu. 



]\lore recent investigators,^'' however, are of the opinion 

 tliat the genus I 'rotostjuilla formed b}- Brooks is unsound and, 

 therefore, liave again referred the si)ecies to the original genus 

 Gonodactylus. 



The two specimens menticjned above are the only ones of 

 this species previously reported. Descriptions h\ White, ]\Iiers, 

 and Brooks are sufficiently explicit in most of the details of this 

 remarkable species. Figures supplement the technical descriptions 

 of White and Brooks. 



There is a single specimen of this species, a male, in the 

 Bishop ]\Iuseum collection. It is a typical example of the species, 

 agreeing in all essential features with previously published descrip- 

 tions.
