142 CARL BOVALLIUS, AMPHIPODA HYPERIIDEA. I. 2. HYPERIID^E. 



Hyp eria. 



peria galba, Montagu, according to my opinion the true species, but not identical 

 with the H. galba of Spence Bate's Catalogue, (see above, p. 141); and lastly Hyperia 

 oblivia, Kroeyer = Parathemisto gracilipes, Norman; and in the appendix: Hyperia tauri- 

 formis, n. sp., and H. prehensiles, n. sp., both, as shown above (p. 93 and 115), belong- 

 ing to the genus Hyperoche, and Hyperia Cyaneoe, Sabine =■= Euthemisto Nordenshioldi. 



In 1869 Th. Edward 1 ) the ardent and devoted zoologist 2 ) of Banff, proposed a new 

 species, Hyperia minuta, but which he himself probably dropped, as he does not men- 

 tion it in his list of Banffshire Crustacea. 



In the same year Norman reported Hyperia galba, Montagu, from the Shetland 

 Isles and Hyperia oblivia, Kroeyer, = Parathemisto oblivia, Kroeyer, and on the same 

 occasion he proposed, as mentioned above, the name Hyperia gracilipes for H. oblivia, 

 Spence Bate. 



In 1870 and 1872 A. Boeck included under the name Hyperia Medusarum, 0. F. 

 Muller, a vast number of the above enumerated species, but not the true one, his own 

 Hy i^eria spinipes. According to his description and drawing his H. medusarum is nothing 

 but a synonym for H. Latreillei. His H. spinipes is of course the true H. medusarum, 

 0. F. Muller. 



Streets in 1877 3 ) cited Lestrigonus rubescens, Dana, from the Pacific, quoting also 

 Spence Bate for it; but as he had not recognized the specific difference between Dana's 

 and Spence Bate's L. rubescens, it is quite impossible to decide if the specimen examined 

 by him was a Hyperia or a Parathemisto. As to his Hyperia tricuspidata, see above 

 (p. 20). 



In the following year Spence Bate 4 ) described a new species, Lestrigonus spinidor- 

 salis, which name he later changed into Hyperia spinidorsalis, though it is no Hyperia, 

 but probably identical with Parathemisto compressa, Goes. 



In 1885 Carus gave diagnoses in Latin of the two Mediterranean species, Hyperia 

 pupa, previously established by Costa, as to the systematical place of which see above, 

 (p. 140), and H. mediterranea. 



In the same year I proposed the name Hyperia Kroeyeri for Tauria medusarum, 

 Kroeyer (see above, p. 85). 



In 1887 Giles established a new well defined species Lestrigonus bengalensis, re- 

 corded below as Hyperia bengalensis, Giles. 



Lastly in 1888 Stebbing instituted the following new species, giving very good de- 

 scriptions and drawings, Hyperia sibaginis, H. luzoni, H. promontorii, H. dys- 

 schistus, and H. schizogeneios. He further gave an elaborate description and a good 

 drawing of H. Gaudichaudii, H. Milne Edwards.
