Crustacean Fauna of New Zealand. -1^3 



This species was hitherto only recorded from New Zealand 

 in the Report of the ' Cliallenger,' numerous specimens having 

 been taken at Station 167, about 150 miles west of Nevv 

 Plymouth, in 150 fathoms. I have recently received several 

 specimens collected by Mr. R. Henry in over 40 tathoms, m 

 Dusky Sound. 



AMPHIPODA. 



Family Lysianassidae.

:Mr. Sandager ; and from Lyttelton, where one was collected 



by Dr. Chilton.

This species is described from a single specimen taken on 



the surface in Bass Straits. I have the same species among 



surface-net collections taken in Otago Harbour by Dr. Chilton. 



Family Eusiridse. 

 Genus Liljeborgia, Spence Bate. 

 Liljehorgia Haswelli, Stebbing. 

 Liljehoryin Haswelli, Stebbing, ' Challenger' Amphipoda, p. 985, pi. xcii. 



A single specimen was collected by me in the Bay of Islands 

 many years ago ; but recently, in trawling off Otago Heads 

 and in Tasman Bay, the species has been commonly met with 

 living in pairs in the upper whorls of shells occupied by 

 hermit-crabs. In the southern locality it was always asso- 

 ciated with Eiipagurus novce-zealandicCj Dana, but in Tasman 

 Bay with E. rubricatus^ Henderson. It is a strikingly 

 coloured species, the anterior half of the body being bright 

 pink or red and the posterior white.
