ON A COLLECTION OF STOMATOPOD CRUSTACEA FROM THE 

 PHILIPPINE ISLANDS 



By Stanley Kemp 

 (Assistant Superintendent, Indian Museum, Calcutta, India) 



ONE PLATE 



The collection of Stomatopoda sent to me for examination by 

 the zoological department. University of the Philippines, is an 

 extremely interesting one. In addition to examples of a species 

 hitherto undescribed, it contains a number of scarce and imper- 

 fectly known forms and enables considerable additions to be 

 made to our knowledge of the geographical distribution of some 

 members of the order. 



In all, 20 species and 2 varieties of Stomatopoda are now known 

 from the Philippine Islands, namely: 



Squilla scorpio Latreille. 

 Squilla leptosquilla Brooks. 

 Squilla hieroglyphica Kemp. 

 Squilla oratoria De Haan. 

 Squilla oratoria var. perpensa Kemp. 

 Squilla nepa 'Ls.treiWe (Bigelow). 

 Squilla raphidea Fabricius. 

 Pseudosquilla ciliata (Fabricius) . 

 Pseudosquilla ornata Miers. 

 Pseudosquilla megalophthalma Bige- 



low. 

 Lysiosquilla inaculata (Fabricius). 

 Lysiosquilla acanthocarpus Miers. 



Lysiosquilla rnultifasciata Wood-Ma- 

 son. 



Lysiosquilla vicina Nobili. 



Gonodactylus chiragra (Fabricius). 



Gonodactylus chiragra var. platysoma 

 Wood-Mason. 



Gonodactylus demani Henderson. 



Gonodactylus glabrous Brooks. 



Gonodactylus proximus sp. nov. 



Gonodactylus glaber Lenz. 



Gonodactylus glyptocercus Wood- 

 Mason. 



Gonodactylus spinosissimus Pfeffer. 



All of these species, with the exception of Squilla leptosquilla 

 and 07-atoria, sensu stricto, are present in the collection before me. 

 The former was obtained by the Challenger Expedition in the 

 vicinity of the Philippine Islands at a depth of 115 fathoms, 

 while of the latter a single somewhat abnormal specimen, col-
