Edmondson—Stomatopoda in the Bishop Museum 209 
The Bishop Museum specimens were dredged off Waikiki, 
Honolulu, by D. Kuhns, at depths ranging from 30 to 50 fathoms. 
Pocock records the species from Macclesfield Bank, China 
Sea, at 35 fathoms.

This species was first described in 1861 under the genus 
Gonodactylus by Adam White of the British Museum from a 
specimen taken at Matuka, Fiji Islands. In 1880 E. J. Miers, also 
of the British Museum, in a descriptive list of the known Squil- 
lidae described the same specimen. 
W. K. Brooks in 1886 established the genus Protosquilla 
and published a detailed description of this species, including it 
under the new generic term. The specimen described by Brooks 
was taken by the “Challenger” at Honolulu. 
More recent investigators,*® however, are of the opinion 
that the genus Protosquilla formed by Brooks is unsound and, 
therefore, have again referred the species to the original genus 
Gonodactylus. 
The two specimens mentioned above are the only ones of 
this species previously reported. Descriptions by White, Miers, 
and Brooks are sufficiently explicit in most of the details of this 
remarkable species. Figures supplement the technical descriptions 
of White and Brooks. 
There is a single specimen of this species, a male, in the 
Bishop Museum collection. It is a typical example of the species, 
agreeing in all essential features with previously published descrip- 
tions.
