LUMBRINEREIDAE. 325 



rendus Soc. bioL, 1914, 77, p. 490) also lives parasitically in a terebellid, but the 

 regressive modifications are much less pronounced. Ophiuricola cynips, described 

 by Ludwig (Zool. anz., 1905, 29, p. 397) as parasitic and galligenous in swellings 

 on the arms of the deep-sea Ophiura tumulosa (Liitken and Mortensen) is too 

 briefly characterized to make it possible definitely to place it, though it may be a 

 lumbrinereid.
