ART. 9 NEW PARASITIC CRUSTACEA NIERSTRASZ AND BRANDIS " S 



generally directed backwards, and seem to be articulated. The 

 trunk is placed quite near to the oral extremity ; it terminates in two 

 longer teeth, directed to the right side of the body, and two smaller 

 ones directed to the left. Around the trunk, near to the body 

 runs a thick ring of a dark brown colour. The body is transparent, 

 with the exception of the rostral part. Only three crosslines are 

 visible on the dorsal and ventral surfaces. On the left side of the 

 latter a row of six tubercles occurs; on the right side only one is 

 to be seen, but it is possible that the others are smaller, so that they 

 can not be distinguished from the embryos, moreover the dorsal part

on the right side is somewhat damaged («, fig. 2). The tubercles 

 may be vestiges of the thoracopods or papillae, as Caullery has de- 

 scribed for Danalia (Caullery, p. 606).

 in the Bishop Museum.) 



Type locality. — ^Waikiki Reef, Honolulu. Dr. C. H. Edmonston, 

 collector. 



Description. — Length, 6 mm. The dorsal surface is somewhat 

 damaged (a, figs. 6-11). The trunk is situated a little behind the 

 rostral extremity. It is longer than the trunk of setosa. The teeth 

 consist of one larger pair directed forward, and a very small pair 

 directed backward (fig. 11). On the ventral surface, in the median 

 part, the wall of the body is opaque and more or less folded. On the 

 remainder of the body an extensive system of lines is to be seen, con- 

 sisting; of a number of crosslines and some longitudinal lines. The
