Halimus l^evis, Haswell. 



Halimus Icevis (Haswell), Baker, Trans. Roy. Soc. S. Austr., 

 xxix., 1905, p. 119, pi. xxi., f. 1, l a . 



This is easily distinguished b} r the carapace being almost with- 

 out tubercles, and the lateral spines long and sharp. The legs 

 are long and slender, and the distal end of the propodi, though 

 thickened, is far from truncate as in //. spinosus. The basal 

 antennal spine is also much less prominent than in that species. 



Five specimens from Port Phillip, and one measuring 48 mm. 

 from Fremantle, Western Australia. 



Gabrielia, gen. nov. 



Carapace broad; front prominent, almost horizontal or deflexed, 

 more or less rounded and entire, and not distinct from the orbital 

 angle. Orbits small, almost concealing the eyes from above; two 

 sutures above and one below ; the external angle inconspicuous 

 and continuous with the antero-lateral margins. Antero-lateral 

 borders long and arched, divided into obscure lobes. Basal 

 antennal joint short, filling the orbital hiatus, and touching a 

 downward process of the front ; flagellum very short, lying in the 

 orbit. Merus of external maxillipeds sub-quadrilateral. Fingers 

 sharp-pointed. Abdomen of male consists of live movable pieces, 

 of female seven.

 xix., (n.s.), 1906, p. 6, pi. iii. (nee Haswell). 



Lioxantho haswelli, Fulton &■ Grant, loc. cit. 



Length of carapace about three-quarters of the breadth. 

 The regions which are scarcely elevated are moderately well 

 defined b} 7 narrow grooves ; anterior parts with scattered punc- 

 tations, smooth posteriorly. Front veiy obtusely pointed, almost 

 rounded, a little less than half the width of the carapace. 

 Antero-lateral borders a little arched, and divided into four 

 obscure lobes, of which the first is the longest and least distinct. 

 Postero-lateral borders much constricted behind the last antero- 

 lateral lobe, thence straight and strongly convergent. Sternum
