margins witli small acute spinules. The dactjlopodite and pro- 

 podite of the left leg of the third pair are somewhat flattened on 

 their outer surfaces. The legs are clothed with yellowish hairs. 

 The spinules which are found on the legs are all of a yellowish- 

 white colour, similar to the spots with which the legs are covered. 

 Otherwise the legs are smooth and shining. 



141. Clibanamus Aeethusa *, n. sp. 



A female specimen was collected in King Island Bay, This 

 species belongs, like the three preceding, to that section of the 

 genus in which the dactylopodites of the second and third legs 

 appear to be shorter, or scarcely as long, but never longer than 

 the propodites, when seen from above ; and it is most closely 

 allied to G. carnifecc, Heller, from the Eed Sea, and to the form 

 which I have described above as C. wqudbilis, var. merguiensis. 

 This specimen is nearly twice as large as the specimens of C. 

 ceguahilis, var. merguiensis. As regards the shape and the struc- 

 ture of the cephalothorax and of the postabdomen, C. Arethusa 

 closely agrees with that species ; but the gastric region is more 

 sparsely and a little less coarsely punctate ; the anterior part of 

 the upper surface of the cephalothorax, which lies before the 

 cervical suture, presents some small transverse tufts of rather 

 short yellow hairs except in the middle, and some similar small 

 transverse tufts are also observed immediately behind the cervical 

 suture. The form of the anterior margin of the cephalothorax is 

 completely similar to that of G. cequabilis, var. merguiensis, the 

 triangular, acute, median tooth projecting a little more forwards 

 than the lateral frontal teeth. The median frontal tooth presents 

 no short ridge above, directed backwards, as in Heller's C. car- 

 nifex. The slender eye- peduncles are distinctly longer than the 

 anterior breadth of the cephalothorax ; they are also much longer 

 than the peduncles of the external antennae, and quite as long as 

 the peduncles of the internal antennae. The somewhat hairy 

 ophthalmic scales are very small, narrow, triangular, and armed 

 with two or three small teeth at their tips ; they are compara- 

 tively smaller than those of G. asquahilis, var. merguiensis, and are 

 more distant from one another. The external antennae are 

 similar to those of G. carnifex and G. cequahilis ; the aciculum 

 with which the penultimate joint of their peduncle is armed at 

 * Arethusa, one of the Hesperids.
