372 PERCY SLADEN TRUST EXPEDITION 



Uropodum endopoditiim apicem telsi non attingens ; exopoditum minutum, non, nisi 

 desuj)er, visibile, in fossa laterali scapi positum. 



Color fusco et flavo variegatus ; interdum fuscus maculis pallidis notatus. 



Lg. 13 mm. 



Distribution : Isle of Pines ; South of New Caledonia, 



[Spherillo purpurascens is certainly a new species. In the manuscript of the late 

 Mr Budde-Lund, however, this was not expressly stated.]

Genus PsEUDOPHiLOSCiA Budde-Lund (2), p. 42, 1904. 



The discovery in the Seychelles of the two new species described below is very 

 interesting and corroborates my hypothesis concerning ancient continental lands. 



I have before recorded three species in this genus : Pseudophiloscia gracilis (Budde- 

 Lund) (1), p. 220 and (2), p. 42 from Upolu Island; Pseudophiloscia fragilis Budde-Lund (2), 

 p. 43 from New Zealand ; Pseudophiloscia inflexa Budde-Lund (2), p. 43 from Chili. I 

 should also think the Paraphiloscia stenosoma Stebbing*, from New Britain, to be a 

 Pseudophiloscia^ , whereas the Philoscia gracilis Borradaile| from the Maldives is certainly 

 not identical with Ph. gracilis Budde-Lund but rather a Setaphora.

 Philoscia mina DoUfus (1), p. 188 (neque Budde-Lund), 1893. 



* Stebbing, Willey's Zool. Results, 1900, p. 648. 



t In agreement with this opinion it should be conceded that Pseudophiloscia Budde-Lund, 1904, becomes 

 a synonym of Paraphiloscia, Stebbing, 1900, and that Budde-Lund's three species above named should 

 consequently be transferred to the latter generic name.
