At first it seemed that it would be necessary to institute a new genus 
for this species. Afterwards two minute papille were found on the an- 
terior angles of the head, which are doubtless rudimentary antenne. 
As they are too small to be seen even with an ordinary hand magnify- 
ing glass, it is not surprising that Schmarda failed to mention them. 
Mr. Goode collected nine specimens of this species, and the museum of 
Union College has a large number of specimens, collected by myself on 
the west cost of Florida, from Sarasota Bay to Key West. Schmarda 
states correctly in the text that there are sixteen tentacular cirri; his 
figure shows but fourteen. These, like the dorsal cirri, arise from long 
cylindrical basal articles. From Schmarda’s figure they would seem to 
arise in a linear series; in fact they are in pairs, one above the other. 
The basal article of the ventral cirri is very short. The upper margin 
of the foot (Fig. 21) is prolonged into a conical cirrus. According to 
my Florida notes the antenne are red. It is impossible to determine 
from alcoholic specimens how many segments bear tentacular cirri, but 
there appears to be but one. 
The ante-anal segment has no pedal rami, nor sets, but merely two 
long cirri, dorsal and ventral. 
The anal segment has two long anal cirri, as long as the dorsal cirri. 
The anal opening is surrounded by a series of low, flattened, projections, 
with convex external margin, oval in form, about six in number. 
It would appear that Schmarda’s specimens had lost the anal cirri.

The collection contains a few specimens much injured, but probably 
belonging to this species.
