462 Mr. G. M. Thomson on the 



Crotalus terrificus (Laur.). 



A specimen without any distinct markings on tlie neck. It 

 resembles thus, in this respect, the more northern form. Tiie 

 specimen recorded by Boulenger in Cat. Snakes Brit. Mus. 

 from Bolivia had the " stripes on the neck well-marked " 

 [l. c. p. 575). It is not recorded by Peracca from Borelli's 

 collection (/. c.) nor by Boulenger * from Boggiani's collec- 

 tions in the northern Chaco. Dr. Rob. Fries, the botanist of 

 the Swedish expedition, told me about the death of two 

 Bolivians caused by the bite of the " cascavella." 



LXII. — Some Recent Additions to and Notes on the Crusta- 

 cean Fauna of A'eiv Zealand. By George M. Thomson, 

 F.L.S. 



In view of the proposed publication of the ' Index Faunte 

 Novffi-Zealandiai ' under the editorship of Captain F. W. 

 Hutton, it is desirable to record the occurrence of any species 

 which have recently been identified as occurring in these 

 islands, and which have already been described elsewhere. 

 The following species of Crustacea have hitherto not been 

 recorded from New Zealand. 



BRACHYUEA. 



Family Macrophthalmidae. 



Genus Mackophtiialmus, Latr. 



Macrophthalmus Mrtipes. 



Cleistosfoma ? hirtijjes, Jacquinot et Lucas, Voy. au Pole Sud, vol, iii. 

 p. 68, pi. \i. figs. 3 & C. 



This crab, originally described from Samoa, has hitherto 

 been confused with TJemijjIoa; hirtipes. Heller, a species from 

 which it is quite distinct. It occurs commonly in Otago 

 Harbour, Akaroa, and Port Cooper, and is usually found 

 between tide-marks. 



Family Leucosiidse. 



Genus Ebalia, Leach. 



Ebalia tuberculosa, A. Milne-Edwards. 



Ebalia tuberculosa, A. Milne-Edwards, ' Cliallenger ' Brachyura, p. 306, 

 pi. XXV. fig. 1.
