This species belongs, according to Sars, to Kinahans 

 genus Cheraphilus s. str. Two other Norwegian species are 

 included by the same author in this genus, viz. (Jherapliilus 

 nanus (Kröyer) and Cheraphilus neglectus (G. O. Sars). None 

 of these is represented in the collections of the last Swedish 

 Arctie Expeditions. 



Cheraphilus echinulatus, with which, according to Sars, 

 Cranffon serratus Xorman is identical, has hitherto been ob- 

 tained only in the North Sea, off the Western and Öouthern 

 coasts of Norway and off the coasts of Scotland. It seems 

 to be very rare, and it lives at considerable depths, 50 — 70 

 fathoms or more. 



Length 27 mm. According to M. Sars, the largest fe- 

 males attain a length of 37 mm.
