It is evident that Bradycinetus brenda, G. S. Brady, 1871, p. 292, does not even belong 

 to the genus Philo7)iedes, as is clearly shown by pi. XXVI, fig. 6. According to Brady's own 

 statement 1896, p. 65(>, this form is identical with tlie male of Cypridina mediterranea 0. Co.si'A, 

 and this statement is not contradicted by the figure in question. 



It is possible that Ph. brenda, R. W. Sharpe, 1909, p. 428 is synonymous with the species 

 dealt with here. The figure of the male shell given by Sharpe differs, however, so decidedly 

 from the type of shell observed by me tliat it did not seem right to include this name in tlie 

 list of synonyms given above.
