The species, which was described from specimens obtained in 

 the Gulf of Martaban, has recently been recorded by Sunier from 

 30-35 fathoms in the Ja\a Sea. 



Genus Hemisquilla, Hansen. 



1895. Hemisquilla, Hansen, /su/' Cuiuac- Stomatap. der Plankton- 

 Exped., p. 72. 



When the memoir on Indo-pacific Stomatopoda was being 

 written the fact that Hansen had proposed Hemisquilla as a generic 

 name for the species previously known as Pscudoaquil/a stylifera 

 (M.-Edw.) unfortunately escaped notice. It was, however, pointed 

 out that this species was an outstanding form without any near 

 allies in the genus to which it was referred. 



The adoption of Hansen's genus is we think to be recommend- 

 ed, for there can be little doubt that the species for which it was 

 founded has had a phylogenetic origin distinct from all normal 

 I'sexidosquilld. The recognition of the genus is, moreover, attended 

 with the practical advantage that we are able by admitting it to 

 define the various genera of the family with greater precision.
