spines distally on anterior surface ; claws 2-8 witii spines along medial 

 and lateral margins; lamella, in area of distal and proximal claws, 

 with hairs. 



Eyes: Median eye (fig. Qj) large, pigmented. Lateral eyes (fig. 6<j) 

 small, black in preserved specimens. 



Frontal organ (figs. Qj, k) : Elongate, proximal part divided into 

 about 8 short segments, distal part (fig. Qk) tapered, with short spines 

 near terminus. 



Eggs (fig. 6^) : As many as 8 eggs observed in thoracic region; 2 to 

 6 eggs in brood pouch. 



Parasites: Two larval copepods of genus Sphaeronella in brood 

 pouch of 1 specimen having eggs inside body (specimen no. 4, Beaufort

 catalog no. 9154. 



Material. — A vial containing 1 whole specimen and a left and 

 right valve in alcohol was received from the Zoological Museum, 

 Berlin. The accompanying label contained the following information : 

 Kat. Nr, 9154; Species Pseudophilomedes Joveolata G. W. Midler, 

 1894; Fudort Neapel. An asterisk appears in the upper left-hand 

 corner of the label. 



The small size of the specimens leads me to believe that they are 

 late instars of females. I have designated the whole specimen as 

 specimen number 1 in this paper and on the prepared slide. 



Description of late instar of female (male unknown).— Shell 

 (figs. 7a-d): Lateral outline oval, highest anterior to center; posterior 

 process slightly below middle of valve; rostrum subtriangular with 

 nearly horizontal lower margin; antennal sinus shallow; surface punc- 

 tate; ovoid muscle scars in front of and below middle of each valve. 

 Inner lameUa broadest behind rostrum and in front of posterior pro- 

 jection; selvage with lameUar prolongation and fringing hairs unbroken 

 around antennal sinus; inner lamella behind rostriun with row of 4 

 bristles with short marginal hairs (fig. 76); inner lameUa m Ifont of 

 posterior process with 1 (or 2 closely spaced?) hirsute seta (fig. 7c); 

 inner lameUa below antennal sinus with 1 short bristle; outer surface 

 of each valve with scattered surface hairs. ^ 



MuUer (1894, pi. 3, fig. 7) illustrates 4 bristles on the mner lamella 

 behind the rostrum but does not show them to be hu-sute. He evi-
