not been reported subsequently from any other locality. The possi- 
bility is suggested that, as in the above-cited case of D. bermudensis, 
D. angulata is also a junior synonym of P. caudata. The fact that 
Richardson (1905b) reported both P. caudata and D. angulata from 
No Name Key, however, indicates that she must have regarded these 
forms as distinct species. It would be inadvisable, therefore, to rele- 
gate D. angulata to the synonymy of P. caudata without critical com- 
parison of Richardson’s types with female and immature male speci- 
mens of P. caudata from the same region. 
Paracerceis sculpta (Holmes) Hansen 
FIGURE 3 
Locauitres.—California: San Diego Harbor (Station 72). Hawaii: 
Hilo Harbor, Hawaii (Station 97); Pearl Harbor, Oahu (Stations 97, 
98). 
Remarks.—Richardson (1905b) reports Paracerceis sculpta from 
only two southern California localities, San Clemente Island and San 
Diego. In the author’s collection there are specimens of this species 
collected by Marjorie Oakley Brown in Morro Bay, Calif. (unpubl. 
data), which is more than 200 miles north of the previous known range. 
The present records of this species in Hawaii greatly extend its distri- 
bution. Probably it was transported on the hulls of naval ships plying 
between San Diego and Hilo and Pearl Harbor. 
Several other species of this genus occur along the Pacific coast, 
but none of these were taken in the buoy survey. One of these is a 
widely ranging species, P. cordata Richardson, which occurs along the 
Pacific coast of North America from Catalina Island, Calif., to Popoff 
Island and the Aleutian Islands. (There is a big gap in its recorded 
distribution, however, between the Alaskan localities and Mendocino 
County in northern California. Hatch, 1947, does not mention it in 
Washington and adjacent regions.) 
Dynamenella benedicti (Richardson) Richardson 
FIGURE 3 
Loca.tity.—California: South San Francisco Bay (Station 384). 
Remarks.—Richardson (1905b) lists Dynamenella benedicti from 
Monterey Bay, Calif., its only recorded locality to my knowledge. The 
present record, therefore, extends its range considerably northward. 
Cymodocella species 
FIGuRE 3 
Locatiry.—Bahamas: Walker Cay (Station 61). 
Remarks.—A single, small female sphaeromatid in rather poor 
condition is assigned with some uncertainty to the genus Cymodocella
