ATLANTIC AND CARIBBEAN PYCNOGONIDA—HEDGPETH 275 
Genus PENTACOLOSSENDEIS Hedgpeth, 1943 
This genus resembles Colossendeis in all particulars except that it 
has five pairs of legs. The completely segmented body of the geno- 
type is probably a specific character, as there are several species of 
Colossendeis in which the body is completely segmented. Some of 
these segmented forms have been referred to Rhopalorhynchus, which 
is an uneasy genus.
