Subfamily Canthocamptin^e. 



Genus Laophonte Philippi. 



1. Laophonte serrata (Claus). 



1863. Cleta serrata Claus (i), p. 123, pi. xv. figs. 13-20.

Hab. On algae in Lyttelton Harbour. 



2. Laophonte meinerti, sp. nov. (Plate XI. figs. 1-10.) 



Antennules of the female short, seven-jointed (fig. 2) ; the comparative lengths of 

 the joints as in the following formula : ' Q ' ° ' t f • Posterior foot-jaws (fig. 4) 



slender ; hand narrow, its external margin obscurely angulated near the middle ; terminal 

 unguis slendei - , slightly curved, rather longer than the hand. First pair of feet (fig. 5) 

 very slender; outer branch three-jointed, scarcely more than one-third as long as the 

 inner branch, exclusive of the terminal unguis ; inner branch much elongated, destitute 

 of setae, with a long and slender apical unguis. Swimming-feet (fig. 6) small and 

 slender. Feet of the fifth pair (fig. 8) small, foliaceous, each joint bearing several 

 marginal setae, one of which is much longer than the rest. Length "75 millim. 



Second joint of the male antennule produced posteriorly into a short conical spine ; 

 fourth joint very much enlarged and forming a quadrate vesiculiform swelling, from 

 the anterior border of which arises a stout curved sensory filament (fig. 3). 



Hab. On algae in Lyttelton Harbour. Two specimens. 



Two further specimens, which may perhaps belong to this species, were found in a 

 gathering from between tide-marks in Otago Harbour. Figures of the posterior foot- 

 jaws and of the first and fifth feet of these specimens are given in Plate XL figs. 9, 10. 

 These do not altogether correspond with similar parts of L. meinerti, but the differences 

 may possibly be varietal only.
