At Port Blair the species is abundant at low water in pools 

 on the coral beach; it was found on Ross I., and on the shores of 

 Aberdeen and North Bay, and was never obtained by dredging. 



The species has hitherto been known only from the Red Sea.

Certain specimens 

 from Madras Har- 

 bour differ from 

 typical P. elegans 

 only in the propor- 

 tionately stouter 

 carpus of the second 

 peraeopods in males 

 (text-fig. 63). In 

 adults of this sex 

 the carpus is only 3 

 times as long as its 

 distal breadth and in 

 females barely 4 

 times. This is the 

 only difference I can 

 find and I do not 

 regard the two forms 

 as specifically dis- 

 tinct. So far as I 

 can understand from 

 the published ac- 

 count Borradaile's 

 name dubius is cor- 

 rectly applied to 

 these specimens.
