﻿CKI'STACICA :\I.\I,ACl)STRACA. II. jj 



Remarks. As to tlii.s species I refer to vSar.s' description and good figures. It may only l)e 

 mentioned that the Uirgest of the females measures i3.Smm. and was taken l)v the "Ingolf; the largest 

 male, 12 mm. long, is from I^at. 6o°5'N. 



Occurrence. Tlie "Ingolf" has taken this species at a single station: 

 West Iceland: vSt. 87: Lat. 65" 02.3' N., Long. 23" 56.2' \V., iiofni.; 7 spec. 



The "Thor" has secured it at 3 stations: 



South of Iceland: Lat. 63'"46' N., Long. 22^56' W., Sofm.; i spec. 



— - — Lat. 63°i5' N., Long. 22° 23' W., 114 — 172 fm.; 5 .spec. 

 South-West of the P^eroes: Lat. 6i°i5' N., Long. 9' 35' \V., 400— 500 fm.; numerous spec. 



Distribution. The species occurs along the whole coast of Xor\va\', from \'adso to Christi- 

 ania Fjord, in depths from 30 to 150 fni. (G. O. Sars), and e\en 180 fm. (Norman). It has been taken 

 off Bohuslan (Lilljeborg), in the eastern part of Kattegat, 17 to 30 fm. and in Skager Rak, 70 to 226 fm. 

 (H. J. Hansen). Between the vShetland Islands and Norway it has been taken two times b\' Cand. nuig. 

 Ad. Jensen ("Michael .Sars") in 1902: Lat. 6i°o'N., Long. 2^35' E, 150 fm., temp. 7.9", i spec, and Lat. 60'' 

 5' N., Long. 3' 42' E., 190 fm., tenqx 6.1°, 21 spec; the "Thor" sectu'ed it near the Orkney Islands: 

 Lat. 58°32' N., Long. 4^18' E., 150 fm. Tattersall has enumerated it from three places West of southern 

 Ireland and in such depths as 293, 320 and 375 fm., and acc(jrding to Nornuin & Stebbing it was 

 taken off vS. S. W. Ireland in 725 fm. — According to Norman A/>.\i/a/i\\ Kochlcri Bonn., established on 

 a specimen from the Bay of Biscay, is to be cancelled as a s\non\in to A.spiiiosus : but judging from 

 Bonnier's drawings that reference is still somewhat doulitful.

Immature Female. .Vllied to A.spiiiusiis ]\I. Sars, but differing in a number of featmes. — 

 The eye-lobes (fig. la) are more produced and more excavated in front than in .Lspiitostis. with the 

 result, that the transverse portion is very short and the outer process long, acute; the lateral process 

 behind the eye-lobe is more conspicuous than in the form mentioned, with the anterior nuirgin 

 somewhat arcuate and the outer angle acute and a little producetl. The lateral margin behind last- 

 named process is nearly straight excepting in front. The upper surface of the carapace with the 

 transverse furrow \-er\' distinct, long. 



The antennuUe in the main as in ./. .spiin>s/is ; the first joint with the proximal half of its 

 inner margin serrate; the outer flagellnm 8-jointed, the inner 4-joiutetl and somewhat more than half 

 as long as the outer. .\ntenn;e with the flagellnm 7-jninte(l; the scpiama reaches the end of tlie 

 penultimate joint of the flagellar peduncle. 



Chelipeds (fig. i b) nearlv as in A..spii/i>sii.\\ but tlie lower margin of the carpus is .somewhat 

 longer than that of the i.^cliium while in A. s/>///<'.w/s tiie lower margin of the carpus is shorter than 

 that of the ischium and provided with two teeth not found in .1 .■r'ia'iitis. 



Thoracic segments somewhat longer in prc>i)ortion tn l)readtli than in A. sfiiiiosiis, and tlie
