 and wiiitish colouring, its low and inconspicuous saddles, 

 short tracheal apertures, &c.

 lowing places : — Tsu-Shima [P. A. Hoist) ; Corea («/. Kali- 

 noushi) ; S.E. Corea {A. Carpenter) ; Clie Foo, N. Cliina 

 {Miss Macomish) . 



In the bottle containing the specimens collected by Com- 

 mander Alfred Carpenter there is a label stating that when 

 living this species is *' mottled white and bluish gi'ey."

 eleventh, and thirteenth tergites have their posterior angles 

 produced, the angles of the rest are nearly squared and the 

 posterior borders not or hardly emarginate. Coxal teeth of 

 the maxillipedes are strongly produced and furnished with 

 2-1-2 large teeth and a smaller external tooth. Coxal pores 

 rounded, uniserial, ?> or 4 in number. 



Length 12 millim.
