In the work cited Prof. Sars describes three genera, admits a fourth, and expresses the opinion 

 that the three members of the genus Pallme described by Prof. Hoek in the "Challenger"-Collection should 

 be the types of three new genera; this apart from any Suggestion with regard to the genus Phoxichilidium. 

 I have attempted to make an easy, if superficial, discrimination between the genera and, as is not unusual 

 in such cases, many specimens do not fall into position very readily. I have not attempted to raise those 

 species which to not fall into line to generic rank but I have indicated their position leaving them under 

 their original names. 



Ovigers ten-jointed. 



No trace of palps present. 

 Ovigers without terminal claw. 



Legs with auxiliary claws Pallene, 9 species. 



Ovigers with terminal claw. 



Legs with auxiliary claws Cordylochele, 4 species. 



Legs without auxiliary claws. 



Setose tuft at extremity of proboscis Pseudopallene, 4 species. 



Scape of cheliferus two-jointed Pallene laevis Hoek. 



Cephalon segmented from ist thoracic segment Pallene australiensis Hoek. 



Rudiments of palps present, one Joint. 

 Oviger without terminal claw. 



Legs with auxiliary claws Pallenopsis, 16 species. 



Legs without auxiliary claws Heteropallene, 2 species. 



Oviger with terminal claw. 



Legs with auxiliary claws Neopallene, 1 species. 



Palps rudimentary, 2 joints Pallene longiceps Böhm. 



Oviger less than ten joints. 

 Without terminal claw. 



Legs without auxiliary claws Pallene lappa Böhm. 



Of Böhm's two species I have not seen either the specimen or the description of P. longiceps. 

 P. lappa I have seen and am inclined to regard as an immature specimen with the oviger not fully 

 developed. His figures are not good. 



Heteropallene gen. nov. 



Body robust, with lateral processes of variable length and separated by small intervals. 



Cephalon much expanded, proboscis small. 



Palps reduced to a single small Joint. 



Oviger 10-jointed, with a row of denticulate spines and without terminal claw. 



Legs, with stout claw and no auxiliaries. 



Prof. Hoek's species Pallene languida (3) is included in this definition and therefore becomes the 



type of the genus.
