squame terminates in this specimen in 8 spines, one of which is situated on the inner border; 

 Milne-Edwards speaks only of 7 teeth. 



Quite recently Balss has pointed out that Pari-ib. papyraceus Rathb. from the Hawaiian 

 Islands must be considered as a juvenile stage of Lund's species, as Miss Rathbun herself has 

 already suggested. 



In my paper on the Crustacea, described and figured by Rumphius (in : Rumphius Gedenk- 

 boek, 1702 — 1902. Uitgegeven door het Koloniaal Museum te Haarlem. 15 Juni 1902, p. loi), 

 I have called to memory that de Haan has first pointed out that the figure C on Plate II of 

 RuMPHius's work does not agree v/ith this species. 



General distribution: Probably the whole Indopacific, this species having been 

 observed in Japan, at the Hawaiian Islands, Carysfort-Island, Tahiti, the Indian Archipelago, 

 Australia, Mauritius and Reunion, though not yet in the Red Sea, as far as I am aware. 

 Parrib. tirsus major occurs, however, also in the Caribbean Sea and on the coast of Brazil.
