lU Mr. T. V. Hodgson on the 



Chcetonymphon typhlops. 



Body stout and entirely clotlied with fine, as well as coarse 

 setas; the latter are arranged in a linear manner on the 

 limbs, for the most part on raised papillae. There are no 

 eye^, but the ocular tubercle exists as a short cone. 



Tills species belongs to the group in which the tarsus is 

 longer than the propodus. 



Auxiliary claws are absent. 



A few specimens were taken on 1. iii. 03 in 1207 m. 



AUSTROPALLENE. 



A genus established to include those forms which Mobius, 

 Priif. Bouvier, and the present writer have included ia 

 different genera — Psexidopallene, Cordylochde. The presence 

 of cephalic s|)urs is a most noticeable feature and is confined 

 to all these southern species. 



Body robust or slender, segmentation distinct, lateral pro- 

 cesses close together or widely separated. Large and stout 

 cephalic spurs. Eyes well developed. Proboscis tapering, 

 with or without a setose wreath. Cheliteii stout, clielse short 

 and powerful. Palps no trace. Ovigers 10-jointed, without 

 a terminal claw. In the male a distal swelling on the filth 

 joint. 



No auxiliary claws. 



Austropallene cornigera. 



P: emhpallene cornigera, Kobius, Pycnogonida of the 'Valdivia' 

 Expedition. 



This species I consider to be identical witli my Pseudo- 

 palloiie australe. 



Tiie 'Gauss' found several specimens in their winter- 

 quarters. 



Austropallene cristata. 

 Pseudopallene cristata, Bouvier, ' Pourquoi Pas.' 



This species is readily distinguished from all others, even 

 at a very early age, by the extraordinary develo))ment of 

 papillae on the legs, each bearing a spinous seta. 



Several specimens at winter- quarters. 



Austroi^allene spicata. 



A readily distinguishable species, comparatively slender, 

 with widely separated lateral proccsses'bearing spurs distally,
