Remarks. — The type of this species is at Bamberg; it has not been examined by any 
one since MCllkr. From the very short description it cannot be definitely assigned to any 
particular species.

The centrodorsal is very thin, discoidal, with a broad, very slightly convex, dorsal pole 
1.5 mm. in diameter which bears numerous very small scattered tubercles among which, about 
the border, are larger irregular flattened tubercles, frequently surrounded by a circle of the 
smaller ones, apparently indicating the location of obsolete cirrus sockets. The cirrus sockets 
are arranged in a single slightly irregular marginal row. 
Cirri XIII, 27 — 29, 25 mm. to 27 mm. long, very slender, gradually and slowly tapering 
to a point, only slightly and irregularly curved. The first segment is very short, the second 
about twice as broad as long, the third from about as long as broad to half ajjain as long- 
as broad, the fourth or fifth and following about four times as long as broad, becoming slightly 
shorter (from two and one half to three times as long as broad) toward the end of the second 
third of the cirrus, and longer again terminally. The longer cirrus segments are very slightly 
constricted centrally; those in the outer third of the cirri have the ventral and dorsal profile 
more nearly straight. The terminal claw is very long and very slender, about as long as the 
preceding segment, with the tip more or less curved downward. 
The proximal edge of the radials, adjacent to the centrodorsal, is bordered by a row 
of small rounded bead-like tubercles, and there are smaller and less conspicuous tubercles 
scattered over their surface in the angles of the calyx. The I Br, are very short, more than 
four times as broad as long; the IBr, (axillaries) are low triangular, twice as broad as long.
