Occurrence. — Boeck found this species at Haiigesund and Hvitingso. 

 I have myself met with it in several places off the west coast of Norway, 

 and especially ver}^ abundantly in the inner pai't of the Trondhjemsfjord, at 

 Vennses, where it occurred in a depth of 100 to 150 fathoms. It extends 

 northwards to the Lofoten Isles, but has not yet been foirnd off tlie Fin- 

 mark coast. 



BistrihuHon. — AVest of Spitsbergen (St. 359 of the Norwegian North 

 Atl. Exp.); South of Halifax, Nova Scotia (Stabbing). 



Gen. 2. Pardaliscella, G. O. Sars, n. 

 Syn. ; Pavdalisca, Malm (part). 



Body slender, cylindric, with none of the segments produced dorsally. 

 Cephalon less deep than in Pardalisca, and narrowly truncated in front. C'oxal 

 ])lates nearly as in that genus. Antennae comparatively short, subequal in 

 length, peduncle of the siiperior ones more elongated than in Fardalisca. 

 Posterior lip with the inner lobes coalesced. Mandibles less strong than in 

 the said gemis, cutting part not nearly so much expanded, though armed in 

 a similar manner, palp very slender, and naked, except at the tip. First pair 

 of maxillse somewhat resembling those in Pardalisca, but having the 2 exterior 

 spines of the masticatory lobe much stronger than the others, and the terminal 

 joint of the palp less expanded. Second pair of maxillse with the lobes com- 

 paratively shorter, and having a much smaller number of setse. Maxillipeds 

 with the masticatory lobes rather small, basal lobes well defined, though not 

 very large, palp of moderate size. Gnathopoda comparatively much more strongly 

 built than in Fardalisca, carpus not much elongated, propodos well developed, 

 obpyriform, dactylus simple, unguiform. Pereiopoda about as in Fardalisca, 

 though the posterior pair appear somewhat less elongated. The 2 anterior 

 pairs of uropoda comparatively short, and but very sparingly spinous ; last 

 pair with the rami quite naked, the outer one narrower than the inner and 

 having a distinct terminal joint. Telson unarmed, deeply cleft. 



EemarJcs. — The present new genus is founded upon the form described 

 b}' Malm as Fardalisca BoecJcri, and also by Boeck referred to the same genus. 

 On a closer examination of this form,I have, however, found it to differ in some 

 points rather markedly from the other species of Fardalisca, so as more properly 

 to be regarded as the type of a separate genus. For instance, the gnathopoda 

 look very different, and resemble miich more those in the genus Nicippc, and 

 also the comparatively short, equal-sized antennae, and the rather different
