OF NEW ZEALAND. 119 
I have seen no specimens of the two following species. 
126. Talitrus brevicornis. 
Talitrus brevicorne, M. Edw. Hist. Nat. Crust. iii, p. 15, (1840). 
Talitrus brevicornis, White, Dieffenb. New Zeal. ui, p. 268, (1843) ; 
Dana, U.S. Explor. Exped. xiv, Crust. part ii, p. 854, p. lvi, fig. 6, 
(1853); Spence Bate, Cat. Amphip. Crust. Brit. Mus. p. 9, pl. ia, 
fig. 6, (1862), copied from Dana. 
M. Milne Edwards merely says of this species, that it is very near to 
the Talitrus saltator, of Europe, but with the antenne so short, that 
they scarcely reach the third segment of the body. 
The specimens referred to it by, Dana, are described by him as 
being near Orchestoidea nove-zealandie. The second pair of legs has 
a similar hand, but the position of the finger is more oblique, the 
inferior antenne are shorter, flagellum 12—14-jointed, the joints of the 
antenne, the legs, and the caudal stylets have fewer spinules. The 
fourth pair of legs is shorter than the third, and the tarsus is stouter 
and gibbous below, whereas the tarsi of all the other legs are slender 
and nearly straight.

127. Talitrus? nove-zealandie. 
Orchestia, (Talitrus), novi-zealandia, Dana, U.S. Explor. Exped. 
xiv, Crust. part. ii, p. 852, pl. lvi, fig. 5, (1853). 
Orchestoidea ? Novi-zealandie, Spence Bate, Cat. Amphip. Crust. 
Brit. Mus. p. 10, pl. i, fig. 2, (copied from Dana). 
Female :—Eypimerals (coxw) large, naked, edged with minute 
spinules. Inferior antenne half as long as the body; sete very 
short, flagellum scarcely longer than basal part, joints transverse, 
25 to 27 in number. Superior antenne more than half the length of 
base of inferior. Anterior feet stout, elongate, unguiculate, second 
pair slightly shorter, the fifth joint a little smaller than the pr eceding, 
subspatulate, finger minute, fixed on its upper margin. Feet of oe 
posterior pairs densely setulose along the margin, the setules in part 
as long as diameter of joints’; of the three posterior pairs, the last 
longest, the first but half the last, basal joint very broad. Length 
10 lines. (D.).
