P. SIERRA Pruvot. PI. 48, figs. 8, 9, 10, 11. 



Body somewhat yellowish-white, 12 mill, long, truncated trans- 

 versely by the cloaca, which shows 28 roseate branchial folds ; back 

 with a many-lobed keel ; spicules needle shaped or hooked ; cuticle 

 rather thick, almost destitute of cutaneous papillae. Radula bi- 

 serial. 



Known by one adult individual. Easily distinguished from the 

 preceding by the very strong dorsal keel, which has about 20 some- 

 what irregular, laterally compressed lobes (fig. 8). The spicules 

 resemble those of P. impexa, some being acicular (fig. 10) others 

 hook-shaped (fig. 11), but they are larger. All around the pedal 

 fossa they are radiating (fig. 9). 



Off the Island of Pultelo, Spain, in 80 meters depth, on Aglao- 

 phenia, in company with Proneomenia aglaophenice.

Cuticle thick, with club-shaped papillae as in Rhopalomenia ; na 

 gills. Excitation body large. Length five times the breadth. 



P. PRUVOTI Simroth. PJ. 47, figs. 88, 89, 91-93. 



Body small, hardly 5 mill, long, generally compressed, bristling 

 with spicules, mostly of the needle-shaped form, but some are fish- 

 hook shaped. Supra-buccal sense tubercle small, with a tuft and a 

 basal palisade of lanceolate spicules, caudal tubercle terminal, with 

 many tactile bristles and a basal circle of lanceolate spicules. Penes 

 exsertile, two. Radula produced, biserial (figs. 91, 93).
