Edmondson—Stomatopoda in the Bishop Museum 291 
spine on the rostrum, and in the presence of eight carinae besides 
the median ridge on the telson. 
Miers also indicates the truncated lateral margins of the 
second and third exposed thoracic segments, and the presence of 
a distinct circular spot, green in color, bordered by a pale margin, 
on each side of the carapace, as specific characteristics distinguish- 
ing both this species and Pseudosquilla ornata Miers from Pseudo- 
squilla ciliata. 
Of the eleven specimens of this species in the Bishop Museum, 
six, four males and two females, were taken from Waikiki reef, 
Honolulu, during 1920 and 1921. One specimen, a female, was 
taken in Kahana Bay, Oahu, in 1921. Four other specimens, 
one male and three females, although without data are probably 
from Waikiki reef. 
Figure I represents the male accessory organ of the first 
abdominal appendage of this species. On comparing this with 
the male accessory organ of Pseudosquilla ciliata, as figured by 
srooks, the similarity of these structures in closely allied species 
is obvious. 
The color of the living specimens obtained on Waikiki reef 
in August, 1921, was dark green above, with a narrow line of 
pink color on the posterior border of the exposed thoracic and 
first five abdominal segments. The fringe of the uropods, an- 
tennal paddles, and swimmerets was deep pink. In the largest 
specimen the right raptorial limb was bright pink in color while 
the left was green with only a faint indication of pink on the 
dactylus. The deép green spots on the carapace were very evi- 
dent in the living specimens. The alcoholic specimens in the 
collection have, without doubt, lost their natural color. They 
are light brown, a few of them nearly white except the eyes, 
which have remained dark brown. 
The largest specimen in the Bishop Museum collection, a 
female, is 55 mm. in length from the tip of the rostral spine to 
the extremity of the submedian marginal spines of the telson. 
A specimen in the British Museum is reported by Miers to be 
3% inches in length.
