98 PERCY SLADEN TRUST EXPEDITION. 
swollen centrally. Cheliforus with slender scape bearing long spines and feeble “ hand” 
(figs. 14, 15). Oviger of male arising from base of foremost lateral process, as long as 
body, with third segment more than 2} times as long as second, and fourth segment as 
long as fifth and sixth together (figs. 14,16). Legs with thigh ¢ length of first tibial 
segment, which is slightly longer than the second tibial segment ; propodus with two 
stout basal spines, a row of seven spines along the lower edge, and minute auxiliary 
claws (figs. 13-19). The legs are spinose and the cement-gland in the male opens 
through a long slender process on the extensor aspect of the thigh (figs. 18, 18). 
Locality. Kolumadulu, Maldive Islands, 33 fathoms, off a black crinoid. One adult 
male only. 
The preserved type of this beautiful little species is yellowish in colour, with dark 
brown transverse bands on the legs. Structurally it is very distinct from any 
Anoplodactylus known to me, on account of the excessively elongate eye-eminence and 
abdomen, and especially of the slender cement-duct on the thighs of the legs. In all 
male Anoplodactyli in which the cement-glands have been described they occur in a 
series along the edge of the thigh. The proportions of the coxal segments of the leg are 
shown in fig. 17, together with the arrangement of the muscles and the position of the 
opening of the vas deferens. The long, flexible spines at the end of each lateral process 
are a remarkable feature in this species. There are two of these on the first and fourth 
processes and three on the second and third. 
Family Phoxichilide *. 
PHOXICHILUS, Latreille. 
3. Phoxichilus mollis, Carpenter (1904). 
A single female of this species was taken off a Polyzoon at Hulule, Maldive Islands. 
It differs from the type specimens (dredged by Prof. Herdman off the coasts of Ceylon) 
in its slightly larger size (6 mm. instead of 5 mm.). Moreover, the present specimen 
possesses four stout basal teeth (the third the largest) and seven small distal teeth 
beneath the propodus, whereas in the Ceylon specimens there are five basal and six 
distal teeth. In the paucity of spiny armature on the trunk and thighs it agrees, 
however, closely with P. mollis, as well as in the general build of the body. 
Family Colossendeide. 
COLOSSENDEIS, Jarzynski, 
1. Colossendeis gardineri, sp.u. (Plate 18. figs. 20-24.) 
Length 16 mm. (including proboscis and abdomen). 
Body condensed, with short lateral processes (fig. 20). Proboscis half as long again 
as head and thorax, slender, tapering anteriorly with a slight curve dorsalwards (figs. 20, 
21). Eye-eminence represented by a prominent transverse ridge with vestiges of eyes 
* The Rey. T. R. R. Stebbing has argued that this family-name should properly belong to the family generally 
called Pallenide, and had proposed that the genus Spinosus, Montagu, should be re-named Chilophowus, with 
Chilophoxide as the family-name (‘ Knowledge,’ xxv. (1902) p. 187).
