Genus 5. Cyproidia (Haswell?), Stebbing. 

 = ? Peltocoxa, Catta. 



It is at this time impossible to say in what genus the 

 Cyproidia damnojiiensis, iStebbing, should be located, and I 

 think it best therefore to leave it where he placed it. As 

 both Delia Valle and myself, however, have found this 

 species in the Mediterranean, ])robability is given to the 

 assumption of Delia Valle that Cyproidia is a synonym of 

 Feltvcoxa, Catta, described in 1875* from specimens taken 

 at Marseilles, but that author's description of the genus is so 

 inadequate that it requires much to be assumed to employ it. 



Haswell, in his amended description of Cyproidia (' Cat. 

 Australian Stalk- and Sessile-eyed Crustacea,' Sydney, 1882), 

 states that the " antenna? are subcqual, superior without an 

 oppeiidage." If that is renlly so, IStegoplax of G. O. Sars is 

 a synonym. But Stebbing apj)ears to have concluded that 

 the secondary appendage, which is extremely minute, had 

 been overlooked by llaswell, and consequently placed in 

 Haswell's genus his Cyproidia damnoniensis, which has such 

 an appendage. 



llaswell put two species in his genus, (Cyproidia lineata 

 and C ornuta. Quite recently Mr. Stebbing t> having 

 received specimens of the first of these species from 

 Mr. Haswell, has instituted, apparently on very slight 

 grounds, another genus (^Paracyproidia) fur its reception, but 

 gives us no information as to the antcnmii either of his new 

 geinis or of Cyproidia ornata^ which he leaves as the type of 

 Haswell's Cyproidia.
