PASIPH^A EMARGINATA Rathbun. 



Pasiphcea emarginata Rathbun, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mas., xxiv, 905, 1902. 



I have proposed the name F. faxoni for P. acutifrons Faxon, not Bate. 

 There are in the National Museum specimens which I believe to be P. 

 acutifrons Bate, from the west coast of Patagonia, 194 fathoms, station 

 2784, Albatross. P. faxoni differs from them in the broader median lobe 

 of the front ; in the antero-lateral sinus being an obtuse angle, while in 

 P. acutifro7is it is a right angle or less ; in the sixth abdominal segment 

 compressed, blunt above, scarcely carinate, in P. acutifrons sharply cari- 

 nate ; in the telson much shorter than the sixth segment, in P. acutifrons 

 very little shorter ; in its shallower notch, which is broader than long. 



P. emarginata differs from P. faxoni as follows : 



The median carina is less sharp and less prominent ; the gastric tooth 

 smaller ; the carapace proportionally higher in its posterior portion, the 

 branchial ridge more sinuous ; the carapace relatively longer, being equal 

 to the first five segments and half of the sixth segment of the abdomen ;
