 manus is to be referred. 



ACT^A RUFOPTJNCTATA. 



Xantho rufopunctatus, M.-Edvvards, Hist. Nat. Crust, i. p. 389 

 (1834). 



Acttea riifupunctata, A. M. -Edwards, N. Arch. Mus. Hist. Nat. 

 i. p. 268, pi. xviii. tig. 1 (1865); Heller, Cr. siidl. Europa, p. 70 

 (1865). 



A female of very small size (breadth ordy 3 lines), but laden with 

 ova, is in the collection, which ap[)arently belongs to this species. 

 A. rufopunctata, which was originally described from the Red Sea, 

 has a wide Indo-Pacific distribution. Dr. Coppinger's specimen 

 was dredged at a depth of 35 fathoms, amid coral on the Hotspur 

 Bank, lat. 17°32' S., long. 35° 45' W. Hence (if the example be 

 correctly determined) it would appear that its range extends into the 

 South Atlantic.
