500 REPORT ON THE ORDER STOMATOPODA—BIGELOW: vol.xvii. 



This species is represented iu the National Museum by a large num- 

 ber of specimens from the Florida Keys; one from Bermuda (Dr. F. V. 

 5amliu) (No. 5136, U.S.N.M.), and another from Honolulu (?) (No. 

 6584, U.S.N.M.). I found it also in abundance at Bimini, in the Baha- 

 mas, associated with Go)io(l<(ctyli<.s chiragra and resembling that species 

 very closely in habits and coloring.

 June, 1893. 



Diagnosh. — A Pseudosquilla with very large triangular eyes, the cor- 

 neal axis being transverse ; a very long, slender dactylus on the raptorial 

 claw, with three teeth; a nearly heart-shaped rostrum without spines; 

 narrow, rounded lateral processes on the first exposed thoracic seg- 

 ment, the lateral margins of the next two segments truncated; poste- 

 rior lateral spines on thejabdominal segments from the second to the 

 fifth, and the usual, six.spines on the sixth segment, with a smaller addi- 

 tional one on the inner side of each intermediate spine; a crest and 

 eight other carinas on the telson, six marginal spines, the submedian 

 pair being the longest and mobile; two simple spines on the basal pro- 

 longation of the uropod, and ten movable spines on the exopodite. 



General description. — In the collection of the U. S. National Museum 

 we have three 9,\)Q>Q'\m.(^\\^tO^ Pseudosquilla from Mauritius, representing 

 as many species. One of these-may be identified as P. ornata, Miers, 

 another as P. oculata, Brulle, and the third (No. 18003, U.S.N.M.) is 

 a new species related to the other two, perhaps more closely to oculata 

 than to the other. It is easily distinguished from both by its large 

 triangular eyes. The conical axis is at right angles to the peduncular
