Hodgson’s regrettable eagerness to establish the priority of his 
names has deprived us of an adequate description of this species, 
and the reference of this specimen to A. maritimus is little more than 
aguess. The principal points of his hazy descriptions are the truncate 
eye tubercle, the lateral processes ‘‘scarcely so much as widely sepa- 
rated,’”’ and two or three large spines on the heel of the propodus. 
This specimen does not disagree with that description. Marcus 
suggests that A. maritimus may be related to A. insignis and A. 
polignaci, but it is hard to imagine that the existence of prominent 
processes on the legs (as possessed by these two species) would pass 
unnoted. 
It is possible that A. maritimus may be the same as A. pelagicus 
Flynn (1928, pp. 25-27, fig. 14), which was collected off South Africa 
in a surface tow. Except for its more robust appearance, the speci- 
men before me is very close to A. pelagicus. Unfortunately this is a 
female specimen and cannot certainly be referred to any known 
species or designated as the type of a new species. The tibial joints 
are not spiny as in A. pelagicus, however.

A single male specimen was taken by the Bache off Sombrero Key, 
Fla., in 1872. The femoral cement gland, which was not described 
by Bouvier, is of the cribriform type, located on a raised eminence. 
It has a conspicuous, raised, transparent rim.
