NO. 3 AMPHIPODA OF CUBA — SHOEMAKER II 



Family TALITKIDAE 



PARHYALELLA WHELPLEYI (Shoemaker) 



llyalclla zchclpleyi Shoemaker, 1933, Amer. Mus. Novit., No. 598, p. 23, figs. 

 12, 13- 



Station 78, i specimen. 



This species was described from Trinidad. British West Indies, and 

 tlie present record from Cuba is the second of its occurrence. 



Parhyalclla zvhclplcyi may prove to be a synonym of the genotype, 

 Pinhyaldla hatcsoni, described by Kunkel from I>crmuda in 1910. 

 Kunkcl's figures are greatly lacking in detail, and his description does 

 not mention the characters which I consider specific in P. zchclf^lcyi. 

 The identity of these two species will have to remain in abeyance until 

 material can be obtained from Bermuda for comparison. This species 

 measures about 6 mm. in length.

Station 124, i specimen (^. 



This species was described from brackish pools at Port Canning, 

 Lower Bengal, India, in 1908. Dr. Chas. Chilton recorded it from 

 Chilka Lake {G. vicf/nac) in 19JI. Dr. A. Schellenberg recorded it 

 from the Suez Canal [Uuciolclla luiiata) in 1928. In 1933 Dr. K. 

 Stephensen recorded it from the Island of Bonaire (G. mcgnac) off 

 the coast of \'enezuela. K. H. Barnard recorded it again from the 

 coast of India in 1935. In 1938 Dr. A. Schellenberg recorded it from 

 the coast of Brazil. It is now recorded from Cuba, and. as shown by 

 material in the collections of the United States National Mu.seum, it is 

 widely distributed in the West Indian and Caribbean regions. The 

 length of the species from front of head to end of third uropod is 6 to 

 7 mm.
