Austropallene. 
A genus established to include those forms which Möbius, 
Prof. Bouvier and the present writer have included in different genera. 
The presence of cephalic spurs is a most noticeable feature and is con- 
fined to all these southern species. 
Body robust or slender, segmentation distinct, lateral processes 
close together or widely separated. Large and stout cephalic spurs. 
Eyes well developed. Proboscis tapering, with or without a setose 
wreath. Cheliferi stout, chelae short and powerful. Palps no trace. 
Ovigers 10-jointed, without a terminal claw. In the male a distal swell- 
ing on the 5th joint. 
No auxiliary claws. 
Austropallene cornigera. 
Pseudopallene cornigera Mobius. Pycnogonida of the Valdivia Expedition. 
This species I now consider to be identical with my Pseudopallene 
australe. 
The Gauss found several specimens in their Winter Quarters. 
Austropallene cristata. 
Pseudopallene cristata Bouvier. Pourquoi-Pas. 
This species is readily distinguished from all others even at a very 
early age by the extraordinary development of papillae on the legs each 
bearing a spinous seta. 
Several specimens at Winter Quarters. Various dates. 
Austropallene spicata. 
A readily distinguishable species, comparatively slenter, with widely 
separated lateral processes bearing spurs distally and having a similar 
pair but much larger ones on the first coxae, the second coxae are ex- 
tremely long. A. brachyura Bouvier is closely allied but stouter, lateral 
processes closer together and the neck is shorter. 
Several specimens Winter Quarters. Various dates. 
Phoxichilidium australe. 
The presence of a small process or spur on either side of the pro- 
boscis serves to distinguish this species. 
A few specimens from Winter Quarters. 
Pallenopsis pilosa. 
Phoxichilidium pilosum Hoek. Challenger Report. 
This species, first described by Dr. Hoek, has since been found 
at various points in the Antarctic Regions by most of the recent Ex- 
peditions.
