 It must be left to the option of naturalists to regard this as an 

 independent genus or a subgenus of Upogehia.

 The late Dr. Nobili, to whose writings I owe the reference 

 to Strahl, had one of Ortmann's specimens for comparison 

 with his own, and convinced himself that Ortmann's species 

 is identical with that figured by Savigny. 

 1900. Calliadne s., Stebbing, S.A. Crustacea, pt. 5. 



No. 85, sent by Dr. Gilchrist, from lat. 33° 9' 30" S., long. 

 28° 3' 00" E. Ortmann considers that Gcbiopsis (now 

 Calliadne) depends for distinction only on two characters, 

 the equally long fingers of the first peraeopods and the 

 absence of that little tooth on the antero-lateral margin of 

 the carapace which is present in Upogebia. So far our 

 specimen agrees with Ortmann's. It has the triangular 

 rostrum rather more extended than that shown in his 

 figure, but in accord with his description it has the lateral 

 furrows of the carapace tolerably straight, somewhat divergmg 

 backwards, the fourth and fifth joints of the first peraeopods 

 without teeth, and the fingers almost equally curved ; the 

 telson with two ridges parallel to the lateral margins. It 

 cannot, however, be said that the peduncle of the inner 

 antennae is only about as long as the penultimate joint of the 

 outer. There may, therefore, be some doubt as to its true 

 specific position. The length is about 22 mm.
