ATLANTIC AND CARIBBEAN PYCNOGONIDA—HEDGPETH 209 
These records represent a considerable southern extension of the 
known range of this species.” It occurs in the north Atlantic south 
of the Wyville Thomson Ridge and in Davis Strait. 
Genus PALLENOPSIS Wilson, 1881 
Pallenopsis Wiuson, 1881, p. 250.—Loman, 1916, pp. 15-25—Catman, 1923, 
_p. 281 (key). 
Phozichilus Bouvier, 1937, pp. 3-11. 
Pallenopsis Marcus, 1940a, pp. 181-182. 
Chelifores 2- or 3-jointed, chelae small. Palpi present as minute 
knobs or small papillae. Oviger 10-jointed, without terminal claw, 
present in both sexes, but reduced in the female. Trunk elongate, 
legs long, slender, propodus well developed, usually with auxiliary 
claws and basal spines. 
There are more than 30 species in this genus, many of them separated 
by minor characters. Fortunately there are not many species known 
from north Atlantic waters. Three species are included in the fauna of 
the waters adjacent to the United States, and a fourth, Pallenopsis 
calcanea, has been found off Labrador and Bermuda.

20 Stephensen (1933, p. 6), mentions a specimen in the Zoological Museum of Copenhagen from “‘off E, 
America abt. 37° N,” which is probably from Albatross material, but I could find no record of it. Selections 
from a number of Albatross lots were sent to Meinert at some time or another.
