Remarks.—Except for the curious denticulate spine at the base of 
the propodus and the cribriform type of gland opening, this species 
resembles A. pelagicus Flynn (1928, pp. 25-27), especially in the very 
slender scape of the chelifore. 
ANOPLODACTYLUS{sp. A 
Figure 35 
Record of collectionLoggerhead Key, Tortugas, Fla., August 8, 1930, 10 
fathoms, many seaweeds, W. L. Schmitt coll., 1 male (incomplete). 
Unfortunately this specimen is without a complete leg, so the 
structure of the tarsal joints cannot be described. This is probably an 
undescribed species; the very long and slender tubular gland duct near 
the distal end of the femur has not been mentioned in other species of 
the genus. The eye tubercle is tall and erect. The trunk is apparently 
unsegmented and the integument is very transparent. It is possible 
that this is a recently molted specimen, but the development of the 
oviger and femoral gland indicates that it is almost if not quite 
mature.

If not the same species, this specimen is closely related to Anoplo- 
dactylus massiliensis Bouvier (1916a, 1937). It differs from Bouvier’s 
specimen (also a female), dredged in the Mediterranean off Marseilles, 
in the following details: 
1. The spur on the propodus is about half as long. 
2. The eye tubercle is blunt instead of sharply pointed, and there is no evidence 
of injury. 
3. The genital protuberances are very low. 
4, The lateral processes are not so widely separated. 
Clarification of the status of this specimen must await the collec- 
tion of males from both sides of the Atlantic. A. massiliensis may have 
as wide a range of variation as A. insignis; in fact, such individual 
variation appears to be the rule in this genus. But the shape and 
spiny armature of the propodus usually form the most constant 
feature of the species of Anoplodactylus, and the short spur of the
