probably originated there and was carried northward to Bermuda 
by the Gulf Stream. In Bermuda, it occurs in shallow water on 
submerged reefs, among corals, etc. On one buoy (Station 37) it was 
found on the anchor at 14.8 meters, but on two others it was found 
only 1.5 and 2.2 meters from the surface in water 13.8 and 11.1 meters 
deep, respectively. 
Males of this species are distinctive having elongate first pereopods 
(gnathopods) with distally expanded carpus and propodus, each 
provided with opposing triangular processes. Females (and immature 
males) lack this modification of the first leg and superficially resemble 
females of many other janirid species.

ReMARKS.—Menzies (1951) described this species from a male 
specimen in the U.S. National Museum (USNM 43646) that had been 
collected at Monterey Bay, Calif., by Harold Heath from an egg of 
Raja binoculata at a depth of 20 fathoms (36.4 meters). Deeming its 
previous identification as Janiropsis californica by Richardson to 
be in error, Menzies redescribed it as a new species assigned to his 
new genus Janiralata. It is known only from the type-locality, Mon- 
terey Bay. Thus, the present collection greatly extends its known 
range. 
Menzies (1951) established the genus Janiralata with 10 species, 
including eight transferred from other genera (three from Janira, five 
from Jolella) and two new descriptions. Of these, Menzies and Barnard 
(1959) list two as occurring in southern California, namely, J. oc- 
cidentalis (Walker) and J. solasteri (Hatch). The present report adds a 
third from that region. Kussakin (1962) recently has described six 
new species, all from the northwest Pacific. He also transfers two 
other species to Janiralata, namely, Janira tricornis Kroyer and 
Tolella chuni Thielemann. All known species of Janiralata occur in 
the Pacific except J. tricornis, which occurs off Greenland, off Franz 
Josef Land, and in the Bering Sea. The latter locality is added be- 
cause Kussakin assigns J. alascensis (Benedict) to the synonymy 
of J. tricornis (Kr¢yer).
