*2. Anoplodactylus tubifertis (Hasw.). 



Phoxichilidium tnbiferum Haswell, in: Proc. Linn. Soc. N. S. Wales, V. 9, 1885, p. 1032. 

 Port Jackson, Australia. 



„The body is rather elongate, the intersegmental lines indistinct. The first segment 

 constricted produced over the origin of the proboscis. The proboscis is scarcely equal to half 

 of the length of the body, exclusive of the abdomen, notched at the extremity, narrower than 

 the following segments, rather broader at the base than at the apex. The segments of the body 

 have large lateral processes, widely separated from one another, and somewhat constricted at 

 the base ; those for the seventh pair of appendages rather shorter than those for 4, 5 and 6 ; 

 the last segment is narrower than the preceding two. The abdomen is narrower than the last 

 segment of the thorax, rather shorter than the proboscis, cylindrical, a little narrower posteriorly ; 

 the posterior extremity notched. The first pair of appendages are very long, extending well 

 beyond the extremity of the proboscis, there are two joints, the first long, cylindrical, rather 

 broader distally than proximally, with about a dozen simple hairs ; the second slender and acute, 

 crossing at their apices. The third appendage is six-jointed, nearly as long as the body and 

 abdomen, slender. The first Joint is thicker than the rest but very short; the second is twice 

 as long as the first and rather narrower; the third is more than twice as long as the second 

 and very slender; the fourth is very short, scarcely a fourth of the length of the third, but 

 about the same breadth, slightly curved; the fifth is also slightly curved and is somewhat smaller 

 than the fourth; the sixth is extremely small, scarcely half the length of the fifth. The fourth, 

 fifth, sixth and seventh appendages are very similar to one another. The first Joint is short 

 and stout; the second is longer, constricted at the base; the third is very small, not half the 

 length of the second; the fourth is nearly as long as the first three together; the fifth is rather 

 shorter than the fourth and narrower; the sixth is about equal in length to the fifth, but more 

 slender; the seventh is very small; the eighth is scarcely half the length of the sixth; the claw 

 is nearly two-thirds of the length of the eighth Joint. There is a whorl of hairs round the distal 

 end of each limb-process and a few scattered hairs on the proximal joints ; there is a small 

 process at the distal ends of the fourth, fifth and sixth joints each bearing one long hair with 

 sometimes a small one at its base; the seventh Joint has a small spine and three or four minute 

 hairs on its ventral border; the eighth Joint has a well-defined „sole", with a row of twelve 

 (or eleven) curved acute spines ; on the projection bounding the palm are three other spines, 

 one large, the others small ; between the row of curved spines and the base of the claw is a 

 row of very minute hairs ; the second claw is only represented by a rudiment. The cement 

 giands are placed in the fourth Joint of the limbs, and their common duct opens at the end 

 of a very long hair-like process more than a third of the length of the Joint itself". 



(Nach Haswell) 



Phoxichilidium tubiferum Haswell ähnelt Anoplodactylus stylops n. sp. Ich trage aber 

 doch Bedenken die Siboga-Exemplare mit der HASWELL'schen Art zu identificieren. Nur durch die 

 ungewöhnliche Länge der Kittdrüsenröhre beider Tiere wurde der Gedanke wach gerufen an eine
