Geographical Distribution. 
Pallene, Johnston (1837). 
Mandibles cheliform ; palpi wanting ; ovigerous legs ten-jointed, present in both sexes, The 
last four joints of the ovigerous legs often furnished with denticulate spines. 
Pallene brevirostris, Johnston, An Attempt to ascertain 
&c., Mag. of Zool. and Bot., vol. i, 1837. P. 
brevirostris, Johnston, Grube, Mittheilungen iiber St 
Vaast la Hougue, &c., Verhandl. der Schl Ges. f. 
vater]. Cultur., 1859. P. brevirostris, Johnston, Hoek, 
Ueber Pyenogoniden, Niederl. Arch. f. Zool., iii, 
1877. <A well-characterised species. 
(1) Pallene empusa, Wilson, Pycnogonida of New England, 
Trans. Connect. Acad., vol. v. p. 9, 1880. This 
species is so closely allied to P. brevirostris, John- 
ston of the European coast, that it must be considered 
either as the same, or as a variety of that species. 
(2)Pallene chelifera, Clapartde (sp.), Beobachtungen iiber 
wirbellose Thiere, p. 103, 1863. Claparéde gives a very 
insufficient description of this species, which he con- 
siders as a Phowxichilidium. I think it most probable, 
that it is closely allied to P. brevirostris, Johnston. 
Pallene spinipes, Fabr. Pycnogonum spinipes, Faby. 
(sp.), Fauna Grénl., p. 232. Pallene spinipes, Fabr., 
Kroyer, Bidrag til Kundskab, Naturhist. Tidskr., Ny 
Raekke, i. 118, 1845. Pallene spinipes, Fabr., Jar- 
zynsky, Premissus Catalogus, Annales de la Soc. des 
Natur. de St Petersb., 1870. 
* Pallene levis, un. sp. A well-characterised Pallene species. 
Pallene chiragra, Milne-Edw., Histoire Natur. des 
Crustacés, tom. iii. p. 535, 1840. ‘The description of 
this species given by Milne-Edw,, doc. cit., is insufficient. 
Perhaps it is the same as the species for which I propose 
the name P. australiensis. ‘ 
*Pallene australiensis, n. sp. Perhaps it is this species, 
which has been described by Milne-Edwards as P. 
chiragra (Hist. Nat. des Crust., iii. 535, 1840). 
Pallene grubiit, Hoek. I propose this name for the 
species described by Grube (Jahresb. der Schles. Ges. f. 
vaterl. Cultur., p. 54, 1869), and which Grube con- 
sidered as a species of Phowichilidium. 
Pallene longiceps, Bohm, Sitzungsher. der Ges. naturf. 
Freunde zu Berlin, p. 59, 1879. A very curious species 
_ with rudimentary two-jointed palpi in the male sex. 
*Pallene languida, n. sp. Nearly allied to P. longiceps, 
Bohm (Sitzungsber. der Ges. Naturf. Freunde in 
Berlin, 1869). 
Northern Europe (Coast of 
England, France, of the 
Netherlands).

necticut (U.S. A.).
