In the collection of Squillidae in the Bishop Museum a single 
specimen apparently belongs to this species. In so far as the 
writer can determine, the species has not been reported from the 
Pacific previously. It was described by Bigelow from two fe- 
male specimens that he took in Bimini Harbor, Bahamas. 
The specimen in the Bishop Museum, also a female, was 
taken by the writer from dead coral on Waikiki reef, Honolulu, 
in 1921. In all structural details it agrees with Bigelow’s diagno- 
sis of the type specimen, but the symmetrically arranged, minute, 
black spots mentioned in Bigelow’s general description of the 
species are absent from the Honoluiu specimen. The specimen 
taken at Waikiki was kept alive and under observation by the 
writer for more than a month, during which period no spots 
were observed on the carapace or abdomen. 
Bigelow says of these markings, ‘The same number of spots 
is not always present.” it seems apparent from the Honolulu 
specimen that the spots are not a constant feature of the species. 
The color of the Bishop Museum specimen is pure white. 
The eyes are of a yellowish tint with darker pigment in the 
concavity of the cornea. . 
The specimen taken at Honolulu measures 47 mm. from the 
tip of the rostrum to the extremity of the submedian marginal 
spines of the telson. This specimen is slightly larger than those 
in the U. S. National Museum. 
The Bishop Museum specimen was taken on Waikiki reef, 
Honolulu. The type locality is Bimini Harbor, Bahamas, where the 
specimens in the U. S. National Museum were obtained.
