MARINE AMPHIPODA IN MICRONESIA — BARNARD 



489 



The specimen from station 177-G-5 bears small setae, not teeth 

 on the inner edge of the claw on gnathopod 1. This may indicate 

 a difference in sex as suggested also in the case of A. jalarikia, new 

 species, where the two known specimens differ in the same way. 



Distribution: Ceylon; Ifaluk Atoll, Caroline Islands.
