RemarJcs. — The general bodily form, the shape of the 

 short proboscis with its wreath of delicate hairs round the 

 mouth, and the form of the chela fingers with their bud- 

 like projections mark this species as belonging to the genus 

 PseMdopallene, Wilson, rather than Parapalhne, Oarpen- 

 ter, as suggested by Loman (1908, page 47). Haswell 

 states that this species is related to Pallene Icevis, Hoeik. 

 As a matter of fact the two differ in a very fundamental 

 point since in PaUejie Urvis, each chelophore has a two- 

 jointed scape, while in the present species the scape is 

 simple.

There is very little to add to Haswell's description of 

 the holotype The following is to be regarded as supple- 

 mentary to the original description : — 



Body narrow, crurigers well separated, longer thaji 

 wide and expanded distally. Trunk is widest at anterior 

 end, while each succeeding segment is narrower than th& 

 one immediately preceding it. In old animals segments 

 are completely fused, in young ones only the hindmost two. 

 Two characteristic dorsal spines occur on the body at the 

 level of the second and third pair of crurigers. 



Proboscis is of the shape described by Haswell. It is 

 inserted into the ventral side of the cephalic segment which 

 is continued beyond the insertion into the long well-defined, 

 and constricted neck characteristic of the genus Anoplo- 

 dactylus. In front of this neck the ceplialon is slightly ex- 

 panded. Upon this expanded portion an extraordinarily 

 high ocular tubercle arises. This is not mentioned by Has- 

 well in his description, but is shown by him in plate 57, 

 fig 1, lying just alongside tJie right cheliforus. The pre-
