92 THE VOYAGE OF H.M.S. CHALLENGER. 
on the ventral surface of the two hindermost legs. They are here placed at the tip of a 
small tubercle, which is likewise absent on the two first pairs of legs. The genital pores 
of the males are almost quite covered by the surrounding hairs. 
This hairy Pyenogonid was dredged by the Challenger at two different stations. 
Station 147. December 30, 1873. Lat. 46° 16’ S., long. 48° 27° E. Depth of the 
sea, 1600 fathoms. Temperature of the bottom, 0°8° C. Bottom of the sea, globigerina 
00ze. 
Station 157. March 3, 1874. Lat. 53° 55’ S., long. 108° 35’ E. Depth of the sea, 
1950 fathoms. Bottom of the sea, diatom ooze. 
Observations.—The near relation which this beautiful deep-sea species bears to the 
two foregoing ones is evident. They form the true deep-sea representatives of the genus 
Phoxichilidium, Milne-Edwards, which probably will be found to have an extremely 
wide range. 
Hannonia, nu. gen, 
Diagnosis.—Proboscis stout, inserted quite in front of the cephalothoracic segment. 
Mandibles rudimentary, small, two-jointed, chelate. Palpi wanting. Ovigerous legs, 
present in both sexes, ten-jointed. 
Hannonia typica, u. sp. (Pl. XIV. fig. 8-11). 
Diagnosis.—Body robust, proboscis long-ovate, truncated at the tip, and forming a 
narrow stalk posteriorly. Legs short, with a small first tarsal jot and a claw, without 
auxiliary claws. :

This curious sea-spider has a robust body; the cephalothoracic segment is not very 
large, and, like the two following segments, its hinder margin is furnished with an 
elevated ridge; on these ridges a row of small hairs is inserted. The oculiferous 
tubercle is blunt, and placed in the middle of the cephalothoracic segment. It is 
furnished with four comparatively large black-coloured eyes. The dorsal surface of the 
lateral processes, like that of the last thoracic segment immediately in front of the inser- 
tion of the abdomen, shows rounded protuberances, on the surface of which small hairs— 
like those of the ridges on the hinder side of the thoracic segments—are placed. 
The abdomen is not very long, but stout and swollen at its extremity. Its surface is 
likewise covered with numerous small hairs. The form of the proboscis is ovate; at the 
anterior end it is flattened and truncated. The mouthis found in the middle of this trun- 
cated surface; it is triangular, with comparatively large lips. At the back the proboscis is
