Distribution: — According to G. W. Mullei! in the Atlantic (from lat. 31" X^. to lat. 

 37" S.), Indian and Pacific Oceans. 



Some of the localities of the Swedish South Polar Expedition are thus 

 somewhat north of the area of distribution in the Atlantic fixed by the above writer and those 

 noted by P. T. Cleve lie still more to the north.

Description: — See G. W. MULLER, 1906 a, p. 88. 



Remarks: — In the characters not mentioned by G. W. MtJLLER this species agrees well 

 with C. curta. It is to be noted that a copulatory appendage is developed on the penis, but it 

 is considerably narrower than in the species mentioned; cf. the accompanying fig. 1.
