REPORT ON THE STOMATOPODA. 21 



LIST OF SPECIES IN THE COLLECTION. 



The small collection of adult Stomatopoda consists of the following fifteen species, 

 of which eight are new, while two of the others, Sqxdlla fasciata and Protosquilla 

 (Gonodactylus) guerinti, have been only imperfectly described from single specimens. 



As there are few adults which have been traced to their larvae, and as I am able to 

 give, from the study of the living specimens, an account of the metamorphosis of an 

 undescribed species, Lysiosquilla (Coronis) excavatrix, I have added a systematic 

 description of it, with illustrations, and hence the Report contains notes on the following 

 sixteen species: —

 with the trawl in 5 to 25 fathoms ; one male from Kobe, Japan, 

 8 to 50 fathoms ; one female from Reefs at Honolulu ; one female 

 taken with the trawl in 15 fathoms, on the coast of Japan, at 

 Station 233b, lat. 34° 18' N., long. 133° 35' E.
