In this new species of which we had 130 specimens (average length 7 mm. and breadth 

 I'/g mm.) the inferior nectophores always failed as in many other Diphyopsinae of the Siboga 

 expedition. The preservation is insufficient as concerns stem and appendages. We looked a long 

 time for the bud of an inferior nectophore and we had nearly given up the task, when we hit 

 upon Cat. 80 H.I. This number contained 9 specimens of which one possessed a bud, the future 

 inferior nectophore. Another specimen of another station (Stat. 165) showed us clearly a bud 

 of a special gonocalyx in the oldest group of appendages. So we arranged this new species 

 under Diphyopsis, while the specific name ^ diphyoides" denotes the great outward resemblance 

 of the superior nectophore with the same in Diphyes. 



The gelatinous substance is not much developed owing to the important size of the 

 nectosac. Still the ridges are very clearly marked. They are all slightly serrated near the base 

 of the nectophore. There are five ridges; the apex of the nectophore is somewhat blunt. The 

 course of the ridges is a slightly convex one. 



Characteristic of the species is the absence of any development in the lateral teeth, the 

 continuation of the lateral ridges. The basal ridges (PI. VIII, fig. 66«) have onl\ just a slight 

 concave course, but real lateral teeth there are none. The odd dorsal tooth is well-developed 

 though not as much as in other Diphyopsinae. 



The nectosac is large, cylindrical, rounded, of nearly the same breadth throughout its 

 length ; the apex is blunt. The course of its canals was not to be seen in consequence of bad
