The Metopa which Bate and Westwood figured as Leuco- 

 thoe norvegica, Lilljeborg, was the male of AT. Alderi, and to 

 that species Sars has let'ened Lilljeborg's species; but from 

 liis reference to Bale and Westwood's figure it would almost 

 seem that he had not consulted Lilljeborg's paj)ers. That 

 author's Leucuthoe norvegica is, it aj)pears to me, undoubtedly 

 the present species. The following description applies to it, 

 and not to M.Alderi: — " i>. clypcatai, Kroyer, sat affinis. 

 Antenna? superiores inferioribus longiores, flagello pediinculo 

 longiore, articulo primo secundum suj)erante, et articulo tertio 

 minimo ; flagelhim antenni infcri ultimo jx'dunculi articulo 

 brevius vel aquale ; manus jjcdum secundi j^aris maxima^, 

 dilatata?, apice vero acuminato, aculeoque marginis posterioris 

 medii validissinw et ungui cequali ; epimera quarti annuli 

 thoracici maxima, latitudine vero altitadine panini inajore.^^ 

 The italics are Lilljeborg's, but for comparison with M. Alderi 

 the statement as to comparative lengths of the antennic should 

 also be italicized. The figure represents a second giuithopod 

 with the palm projected forwards and the lateral process 

 reaching beyond the palm [cf. Sars's figure p.'^ (5"), so tliat 

 the finger impinges upon it; and in no other species is this 

 the case.
