Crustacea.] SUBANTARCTIC ISLANDS OF NEW ZEALAND. 669 



The species grouped by Dr. Budde-Lund under Sfherillo belong mainly to Australia 

 and the various islands in the Pacific, south-east Asia, and the Malayan Archipelago ; 

 while those which he retains under Armadillo are nearly all inhabitants of Europe, 

 Asia Minor, Africa, and America. 



Order TANAIDACEA. 

 Fam. Tanaidae. 

 Genus Tanais, Audouin and Milne-Edwards, 1829. 

 Distribution. — Cosmopolitan. 



Tanais novae-zealandiae, G. M. Thomson. 



Tanais novae-zealandiae, G. M. Thomson, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 5, 

 iv, p. 417, pi. xix, figs. 5, 6, 1879 ; and Trans, N.Z. Inst., xiii, p. 207, 

 fig. 3, 1881. 



One specimen, from Perseverance Harbour, Campbell Island, taken on the shore 

 with Exosphaeroma gigas, &c. It is darkly pigmented. Another was taken at the 

 Snares. 



The species is common on the coasts of New Zealand, and at present is not 

 known elsewhere, though it may prove to be more widely distributed. 



Order CUMACEA. 



I am not aware that any Cumacea have been described from these islands. In 

 his report on the Cumacea collected by the National Antarctic Expedition, 1901-4, 

 Dr. W. T. Caiman mentions that a species of Cumacean was obtained from the Auck- 

 land Islands ; it was not included in his report, as it is not antarctic, but I do not 

 know whether it has yet been described elsewhere. 



Order NEBALIACEA. 



Fam. Nebaliidae. 



Genus Nebalia. 



Distribution. — Probably cosmopolitan, but best represented in northern and in 

 southern seas. 



Nebalia longicornis, G. M. Thomson. 



Nebalia longicornis, G. M. Thomson, Ann. & Mag., Nat. Hist., ser. 5, iv, 

 p. 418, pi. xix, figs. 7-9 ; Sayce, " Victorian Naturalist," xviii, p. 151, 

 1902 ; Thiele, Rep. " Valdivia " Crust., viii, p. 9, pi. iv, figs. 66-69, 

 and Nat. Antarct. Exped., 1901-4, iii, Leptostraca, p. 1. 



One small specimen, from Musgrave Harbour, collected by Professor Benham. 



This species was originally described from a male specimen taken in Dunedin 



Harbour, New Zealand, and appears widely distributed in the southern seas ; Sayce
