xxi PHOXICHILTDIIDAK PYCNOGONIDAK 539 



referred to Plioxichilidiiim. A. neglecttts, Hoek, comes from 

 1600 fathoms off the Crozets. Oomerus stigmatophorus, Hesse 

 (1874), from Brest, seems to belong to one or other genus, but 

 is unrecognisable. Anapliia, Say (1821), is in all probability 

 identical with Anoplodactylus, and if so the name should have 

 priority. Hcdosoma, Cole (1904), is an allied genus from 

 California.
