REPORT ON THE PYCNOGONIDA. 29 
Name. y Geographical Distribution. 
*Colossendeis brevipes, n. sp. In all probability nearly East of Buenos Ayres, 
allied to C. media, Hoek, and C- fgracilis, Hoek. 
Perhaps not a distinct species but only a variety. 
*Colossendeis minuta, n. sp. A very slender and easily | South of Halifax. 
recognized species, 
Pasithoe, Goodsir (1842). 
No mandibles ; palpi eight-jointed ; ovigerous legs nine- (nonne ten-) jointed, 
(?)Pasithoe vesiculosa, Goodsir, Edin. New’ Phil. Journal, | Coast of England, 
vol. xxiii., 1842. Description and characterisation of 
species and genus insufficient. 
Endeis, Philippi (1848). 
No mandibles ; palpi seven-jointed ; ovigerous legs nine- (nonne ten-) jointed. 
Endeis didactyla, Philippi, Ueber die Neapolitanischen | Naples. 
Pyenogoniden, Arch. £. Naturgesch, ix., 176, 1843. 
Body ovate, ovigerous legs present. I think this must 
be considered as a true representative of the genus 
Endeis, proposed by Philippi. Semper (Ueber Pyeno- 
goniden, Arb. Zool. Zoot. Inst. in Wiirzburg, i. 281, 
1874) considers it as a species of Pasithoe, Goodsir. 
But this question cannot be settled without more 
detailed descriptions of the forms in question. 
())Endeis gracilis, Philippi, Ueber die Neapolit. Pyenog., | Naples. 
Arch. f. Naturg., ix. 176, 1843. This species has a 
very slender body. No ovigerous legs are mentioned ; 
perhaps the eight-jointed palpi are in reality the ovige- 
rous legs, and this is a species of Phoxichilus without 
palpi. 
Discoarachne, Hoek (1880). 
No mandibles; palpi five-jointed ; ovigerous legs ten-jointed. 
*Discoarachne brevipes, n. sp. A very curious species | Near Cape Town. 
with a disciform body and short legs. 
Family II. Pattenipaz 
Contains those Pyenogonida, which have strongly developed cheliform mandibles, and 
either rudimentary palpi or no palpi at all. Ovigerous legs are present in both sexes, 
and furnished with denticulate spines (Pallene), or present in both sexes and not 
furnished with denticulate spines (some species of Phowichilidium), or present only 
in the males (other species of Phowichilidiwm). Two genera: Pallene, Phowxichi- 
lidium.
