J. M. Jones reports Liipa diacantha.

 Mem. de la Soc. Phys. Hist. Nat., Geneve, XIV., p. 434, pi. 

 II., fig. II, 1858. 



I 9, Cooper Island, '97. Length 18 mm., width 30 mm. 

 Heilprin in his list, gives N. Jiastatus which is a Mediterranean 

 species. A. Milne-Edwards in his key to the species of Neptiums 

 (Arch. Mus. H. N., Parfs, t. X., p. 326, 1861), makes the dif- 

 ference between N. liastatus and N.- miceps consist in the breadth 

 of the last two segments of the male abdomen. As my single 

 specimen is a female I cannot verify this statement, but have no 

 doubt that the Bermuda form is A^. anceps. 



Distribution: "The Antilles, taken at Cuba," Saussure.

The single specimen was presented to me by Rev. H. J. 

 Wood of St. George, who had obtained it from some fishermen 

 of St. David's, '97. The carapace is covered with a close drab- 

 cblored pubescence except on ridges which are smooth and 

 brownish-red. Pereiopods marked with longitudinal white stripes. 

 Length 60 mm. breadth 100 mm. 



This species has not before been recorded from Bermuda and, 

 according to Mr. Wood, had never before been observed. 



Distribution : South Carolina to Brazil ; West Indies ; Chili, 

 (A. M.-Edwards).
