o- 



Pallenopsis setigera. 



Another conspicuously setose species. Body stout^ seg- 

 mentation indistinct, spines ou lateral processes, limbs 

 coarsely setose, with a series of stout spines on the propodus ; 

 terminal claw powerful, with strong auxiliaries. Oviger 

 club-shaped. Seven joints existing. 



Winter-quarters, 7. iv. 02. 



PaUenoiysis spicaia. 



Not conspicuously setose. Body slender, scarcely so much 

 as widely separated lateral processes. Three doubly pointed 

 tubercles in the mid-dorsal line; tubercles also occur on the 

 lateral processes and the first coxae. Oviger club-shaped. 

 Seven joints existing. 



With regard to the ovigers, these last two species are 

 peculiar.

Ammothea. 



This genus now has a different character to that formerly 

 recognized. Dr. J. C C. Loman has called attention to the 

 type-specimen of Leach now preserved in the British Museum, 

 A. carolinensis. This species becomes the type of the genus, 

 and, if bodily form means anything, those diminutive species 

 with a discoid body must be transferred elsewhere. 



Ammothea is now that which in my ' Discovery ' Report I 

 described as Leionymphon, with subsequent additions. 



Ammothea glacialis. 

 Leionyviphcn c/laciale, Hodgson, ' Discoveiy.' 



A single adult female. 

 26. vii. 02. 385 m. 



Ammothea meiidionalis. 



Body short, with lateral processes close together and 

 lightly tuberculated. Transverse ridges produced in the 

 mid-dorsal line into conspicuous points. Entire body clothed 

 with numerous short stiff setaj ; the largest, those on the 

 limbs, are arranged linearly, and the dorsal rows are large on 

 the three principal joints. 



Terminal claw long and the auxiliaries more than half the 

 size. 



Winter-quarters, 28. xi. 02. 385 m.
