Ogyris Stimps. 



The remarkable genus Ogyris, distinguished by its elongate and slender eye-peduncles 

 from all other Alpheidae, was hitherto represented by one indopacific and two atlantic species; 

 a fourth, O. Sibogae, has been collected by this expedition. This species with its quadriarticulate 

 carpus appears closely related to O. occidentalis from the mouth of the river Tocantins, but it 

 differs by the smaller number of teeth on the dorsal carina of the carapace and by the shape 

 of the telson. Ogyris Sibogae was collected in rather deep water off the Sulu Islands and also 

 probably inhabits the ' Saleh-bay, Sumbawa, though the specimen from the latter locality may 

 perhaps once prove to belong to a distinct species. O. orientalis Stimps. has been observed in 

 the China Sea and in the Bay of Kagoshima. Of the american species, one inhabits the coast 

 of Virginia, the other the mouth of the river Tocantins.
