Tamily Nephropsidae. 



Genus NEPHROPSIS, Wood-Mason, 1873. 



18. Nephropsis malhaensis, sp. n. 



A specimen dredged in 300 fathoms off Saya de Malha belongs to a species closely 

 related to N. atlantica, Norman, 1881, but differing from it in the following points ; — 

 (1) there is no fur on the body ; (2) the second pair of small spines behind the rostrum 

 is wanting ; (3) the median tubercle behind the rostrum is not enclosed by spinules, but 

 two rows of granules hardly larger than those which cover the rest of the back start just 

 before the tubercle on each side and converge towards the spines at the base of the 

 rostrum ; (4) the keels on the back of the abdominal segments are wanting. 



Length 7"75 cm.

Genus UPOGEBIA, Leach, 1814. 



Subgenus Calliadnb, Strahl, 1861. 

 Nobili (Bull. Sc. Pr. Belg. xl. (1907) p. 61) has shown that this subgeneric name must 

 be substituted for Gebiopsis, A. M.-E., 1868. 



20. ?Upogebia [Calliande) darwini (Miers), 1884. 



Gebiopsis darwinii, Miers, 'Alert' Report, p. 281, pi. 32. fig. A. 

 Upogebia (Calliadne) darwini, Nobili, Ann. Sei., Zool. (9) iv. (1906) p. 97. 



A specimen dredged in 55 fathoms at Saya de Malha unfortunately has the rostrum 

 damaged, but appears to belong to this species. It agrees with Miers's description and 

 figure, and not Nobili's, in being without the spines on each edge of the wrist.
