170 ON THE GENUS CHLOEIA. 
able changes and to lose sometimes entirely their serru- 
lations'); f.i. in the collections of the Leyden Museum 
there is a specimen of Chl. flava, from the Port of Singapore, 
that for some time was preserved in formaline, showing 
only smooth bristles. Also the Chl. flava mentioned by 
Quatrefages, characterized „remus superus setis laevibus’’ *), 
can be explained in this manner. Moreover Marenzeller *) 
in 1893 fixed the attention thereupon, that the bristles, 
contained in the anterior body-segments, differ from 
those of the following ones, and because this character is 
overlooked in the elder descriptions of the species, ,,treten 
die Mängel der bisherigen charakteristik der Chloeia-Arten 
klar zu tage’ (Marenzeller). In the following table those 
species of Chloeia are enumerated, which appear to me 
sufficiently described and figured to be recognized.
