J9I9-] ^'^- Kemp : Notes on Crustacea Decapoda. 385 



Excluding three species altogether unrecognisable from the 

 published descriptions, Tesch recognised twenty-six species of Mac- 

 rophtlialmus in his monograph ; to these may be added M. bosct , 

 Sav. & Aud., M. sandakani ^ Rathbun, M . gastrodes, Kemp and M. 

 teschi described in this paper. The total number of species, includ- 

 ing the somewhat doubtful M. latifrons, Has well and M. punctu- 

 latus, Miers, is consequently thirty. 



Alcock in his account of the Indian Catometopes described 

 seven species ol the genus and mentioned the names of four others 

 which were said to occur in Indian seas. The total number of 

 Indian forms now stands at fifteen. The species are : —

I agree with Tesch that Guerin's M. simplicipes is probably 

 founded on a young varietal form of this species. 



No additions have been made to the specimens examined by 

 Alcock. The record from Orissa is based on a large male labelled 

 " Cuttack. Dr. F. Stoliczka." This appears to be an error, for 

 the original label, also found with the specimen, clearly reads 

 "Kutch." 



M. pectinipes is otherwise known only from Sind (Henderson), 

 Karachi (Alcock), Bombay (Guerin) and Penang (Henderson).
