Wood has given a perfectly recognizable portrait of this species ; 

 and I have therefore hesitated to disturb the current use of his speci- 

 fic name in favor of those proposed by either Spengler or Tilesius, 

 about which there is more or less uncertainty. 



This species has hitherto been classed in Tonicia, but the total 

 absence of eye-spots, the hairy girdle and the less obtuse teeth show 

 it to belong rather to Chcetopleara. 



Said to have been taken at Cape Horn on ships cable, but this 

 locality requires confirmation.
