6 AMERICAN MUSEUM NOVITATES [No. 74 



than the dorsal and does not reach the apex of the parapodium. Except for variations 

 in length, the notopodial setae are all alike, with moderately acute apices and poorly 

 defined denticulations along one face (Fig. 3). The neuropodial setae (Fig. 4) are all 

 longer than the notopodial and are all alike in form, except that some near the dorsal 

 face of the tuft are much longer than the others. Each suddenly widens toward the 

 end and then gradually narrows, ending in a large terminal and a smaller subter- 

 minal tooth. Along the widened region are rows of toothed plates which appear most 

 clearly in profile but apparently extend entirely around the seta. 



No elytra are retained on the type. The paratype has one very much shriveled 

 elytron, with a circular outline but with no fimbriations or surface markings.

Lsetmonice pellucida Moore 



Lsetmonice[" Lsetmatonice"] pellucida Moore, 1903, p. 420, PL xxm, figs. 19, 20. 



Two specimens, which I have assigned to this species because of 

 their general resemblance to Moore's description. Lack of agreement is 

 shown in the subapical barbs of the arrow-pointed setae, which are sym- 

 metrical instead of unequal in number on different sides of the shaft, and 

 I could find no papillae on the anterior ventral surface.

Nephthydidse 



Nephthys ectopa ( 'hamberlin 

 Nephthys ["Nepthys"] ectopa Chamberlin, 1919, pp. 94-97, PL xv, figs. 1-7. 

 Probably of this species, but too poorly preserved to allow of posi- 

 tive identification.
