PHOXICHTLTDIIDAE PVCNOGONIDAE 539 



referred to Fhoxichilidium. A. neglect its, Hoek, comes from 

 1600 fathoms off the Crozets. Oomerus stigmaiophorus, Hesse 

 (1874), from Brest, seems to belong to one or other geuus, but 

 is unrecognisable. AnaiMa, Say (1821), is in all probability 

 identical with Anoplodactylus, and if so the name should have 

 priority. Ilalosoma, Cole (1904), is an allied geuus from 

 California.

Fam. 9. Phoxichilidae.^ — Appendage I. and II. absent; 

 appendage III. present only in the males, 7-jointed, with minute 

 scattered spines ; auxiliary claws well-developed ; ]:)ody and legs 

 slender. The only genus is Fhoxichilus (auctt., non Latreille, 

 Chiloiihoxus, Stebbing, 1902); the type is P. s^rinosus, Mont, 

 (non Quatrefages), from the N. Atlantic, and P. vulgaris, Dohrn, 

 P. cliaryhdaeus, Dohrn, and P. laevis, Grube, are all very similar. 

 Undeis gracilis, Philippi (1843), is probably identical witli 

 P. spinosus, or one of its close allies. There are also known 

 P. meridionalis, Bohm, P. mollis, Carp., and P. p^vccrus, Loman, 

 from the East Indies ; P. avstralis, Hodgson, from the Antarctic ; 

 P. hohmii, Schimk., of unknown locality ; and forms ascribed to 

 P. cliaryhdaeus by Haswell and by Schimkewitsch from Australia 

 and Brazil. 



Fam. 10. Pycnogonidae. — Appendages I. and II. absent ; 

 appendage III. present only in the male, 9 -jointed, with small, 

 simple spines ; auxiliary claws absent or rudimentary ; body and 

 legs short, thick-set. 



The only genus is Pgcnogomun, Briinnich (1 7G4) {Polygonopits,
