Coutière (in litteris) „la 4me paire a Ie méropodite épiueux comme 

 la 3me." The description of the typical species, in : Buil. Soc. 

 Philom. Paris, T. XI, 1908, p. 17, coutains a typographical error 

 in the relative dimensions of the small chela: the height, indeed, 

 is 0,72, not 1,72 (Coutière, in litt.). 



Froutal region as in A. supercilioris Cout., but the projecting 

 mediau part glabrous; rostral carina sharp, compressed. Anten- 

 nular and antennal peduncles as in the typical species, but the 

 terminal spine of the scaphocerite reaches almost to the extremity 

 of anteunular peduucle and the scale to the 2nd third part of 

 distal article. 



Relative dimensions of the Ist., 2nd and 3rd legs as in the 

 typical species, those of 4th pair: Méropodite 2,45, carpus 1, pro- 

 podite 1,5. Méropodite 5,6 tiraes, propodite 6 times as longas wide. 



Length of the largest specimen, a male, 14 mm. 



2. Alpheus teuuipes, n. sp. 



Station 204. Lat. 4° 20' S., long. 122° 58' E. Between islauds 

 of Wowoni and Buton ; northern entrance of Buton-Strait. 

 Depth from 75—94 M. 



A new species of the group „ms^'^m's" Cout., closely related to 

 A. paracrinitus Miers and to its var. bengalensis Cout. 



Frontal margin transverse as in A. paracrinitus var. bengalensis, 

 rostrum a little shorter than half the visible part of basal article, 

 obtuse above and separated by feeble depressions from the orbits ; 

 the orbits quite open anteriorly, the rostrum being, as in A. 

 alpheopsides, not thickened inferiorly. Telson as in A. paralpheop- 

 sides, but 4,8 times as long as the posterior margin is wide. 

 Antennular peduncle 5 times as long as thick, the 2nd article 

 twice as long as thick, one fourth longer or as long as the visible 

 part of basal article, 3rd a little more than half as long as the 

 2nd. (yarpocerite and scaphocerite as in the var. bengalensis, but 

 the latter shorter, the scale reaching only to the middle of 3rd 

 article or hardly beyond the 2ud. Méropodite of large chelipede 

 5 times, that of the smaller G times as long as broad, upper
