By Louis S. KornickER 
Associate Curator, Division of Crustacea 
While participating in the U.S. Program in Biology, International 
Indian Ocean Expedition, aboard the Stanford University Research 
Vessel Te Vega, the author obtained marine Ostracoda from the waters 
along the southwest coast of Ceylon and from among atolls forming 
the Maldive Islands. ‘This paper describes a new species collected 
in the Maldives. 
Field collecting was sponsored by the National Science Foundation 
through the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. I wish to thank 
Miss Caroline Bartlett and William Risley for preparing the illus- 
trations. Through the courtesy of Dr. Gerhard Pretzmann of the 
Natural History Museum in Berlin, I was able to examine for com- 
parative purposes specimens of Philomedes polae Graf from the Gulf 
of Suez.
