Patria: Sandwich Islands: Oahu (Mr. Kjellerup in Mus. 

 Kjobenhavn, Mr. Bebn in Mus. Kiel) ; Lanai ; Kauai, Makaweli ; 

 Hawaii, Lihue (sec. Dollfus 1. c); Molokai at Kalae (Dr. 

 Schauinsland in Mus. Bremen). 



Remarks. In a collection of Isopods belonging to Dr. 

 Schauinsland at Bremen, which he has been kind enough to 

 send me in the year 1899, were some specimens of this 

 species. I instantly found out, that I had separated the 

 male and the female specimens as two species. It may 

 serve as an excuse for me, tljat the material I have had 

 for examination from the Museum at Kiel and at Kjoben- 

 havn during the course of some years was incomplete, and it 

 was remarkable, that the male specimens went to the Mu- 

 seum at Kiel, the female to the Museum at Kjobenhavn, 

 although both lots were collected from Oahu by the Ga- 

 latea expedition in the year 1846. In the spring 1900 I 

 was at Paris and visiting Mr. Dollfus I have enlighted him 

 over this relation, which he has corrected in his above cit. 

 paper.
