66053 U.S.N. M. Fakarava. ^ZMross collection. Length 320 mm. As Teuthia 

 maia. It agrees largely with Fowler's figure of Harpurus gnophodes which we 

 believe to be the adult. The Fakarava example shows more blue horizontal 

 lines than is indicated by the figure in question, these doubtless having largely 

 faded.
