Maera othonopsis Schellenberg 



Maera othonopsis Schellenberg, 1938a, pp. 48-50, fig. 23. 



Material: Abbott station 31-D-2 (1 ovigerous female); Reish 

 station E-43 (1).

 Eniwetok Atoll, Marshall Islands. 



Maera pacifica Schellenberg 



Maera pacifica Schellenberg, 1938a, pp. 42-45, figs. 19, 20. 



Material: Abbott stations 49-E-2 (4), 83-E-l (7), 84-D-l (2), 

 85-F-3 (1), 91-E-2 (10), 95-0-4 (1), 112-1-5 (1); Bayer station 

 431 (1); Reish station E-53 (9). 



Remarks : None of the present specimens is sufficiently mature to 

 reflect any of the taxonomic characteristics described or figured by 

 Schellenberg. The materials have been identified by a process of 

 elimination, since the structure of the telson and third uropods are 

 not those of M. inaequipes or M. quadrimana. The third uropods 

 bear short rami. 



Distribution: Gilbert, Fiji, Hawaiian Islands; Ifaluk Atoll, Caroline 

 Islands; Eniwetok Atoll, Marshall Islands.
