FAMILY SPHAROMIDZE. 129 
more outwards than in the male. In the female third 
thoracic legs are about as slender as fourth legs, and without 
brushes on any joint, while in the male third to sixth, and 
especially third to fifth, joints are conspicuously thicker than 
in the female, and third to fifth densely clothed with brushes 
of short hairs on their lower surface. Second legs are in the 
female only a little shorter and thicker than third, and their 
fifth and sixth joints have a few scattered spines; in the 
male (according to Stebbing’s figure) fourth to sixth joints 
are much thicker, fifth and sixth with a peculiar armament. 
First legs are similar in both sexes. No other species is 
known. 
(2) Campecopea (Leach).—The type is C. hirsuta 
(Mont.); C.Cranchii (Leach) is the female of the same 
species. In certain features, viz., the shape of epistome and 
uropods, the marginal part of abdomen being bent inwards, 
etc., it constitutes to a certain degree a transition to Mono- 
listra. White referred Nesa ovalis (Say) to this genus, 
but I take N. ovalis as the type for Cassidinidea (n. gen.). 
Camp. bicolor (Rathke) (referred incorrectly by Milne- 
Edwards to Nesa) andC. versicolor (Rathke) (referred by 
Milne-Edwards to Cymodoce) cannot remain in Campe- 
copea, but I have no opinion on their real relationship. 
(3) Monolistra (Gerst.).—The type is M. ceca (Gerst.). 
From the Berlin Museum I received an adult male of this 
species and besides an immature male of an undescribed 
form. According to kind information from Dr. Joh. Thiele 
the female of M. cxca has second thoracic legs simple, 
without prehensile hand. 
(4) Cecospheroma (Dollf.).—The type is C. Virei 
(Dollf.), of which I have seen a single specimen, kindly pre- 
sented me by Mr. A. Viré. As to this form and the two 
species of the following genus the reader is referred to a 
future paper by Mr. A. Dollfus. 
(5) Vireia (Dollf.)—To this genus Mr. Dollfus refers two 
species, V. burgunda (Dollf.) and V. berica (Fabiani). 
(See the future paper by Mr. Dollfus). 
(6) Cassidina(M.-Edw.).—The type is C. ty pa(M.-Edw.),
