Copilia mirabilis appears to be widely distributed in the warm regions of all the 
great oceans.

Copilia quadrata T. Scott, 1893, p. 113. 
Copilia quadrata 1. C. Thompson, 1900, p. 289. 
This species although widely distributed in the Malay Archipelago, proved to be much 
scarcer than Copzlza mzradzlis. It was present in the plankton collected at the following stations. 
Sfatag0. —— Stat 37-—— stat. 66, — Stat. 39. — Stat. 93. — Stat. 98. — Stat. 1173. — 
Stat. 128 (HENSEN vertical net, 700 metres to surface). — Stat. 129. — Stat. 136. — Stat. 
144. — Stat. 146. — Stat. 157. — Stat. 165. — Stat. 169. — Stat. 172. — Stat. 184. — 
Stat. 185 (HENSEN vertical net, 1536 metres to surface). — Stat. 203 (HENSEN vertical 
net, 1500 metres to surface). — Stat. 220 (HENSEN vertical net, 200 metres to surface). — 
Stat. 220 (Surface), — Stat. 230. — Stat. 252. — Stat. 276 (HENSEN vertical net, 750 
metres to surface). — Stat. 282. — Stat. 315. 
The cephalic segment of the female is very wide. It is nearly quadrangular in outline. 
The furcal joints are four times longer than the anal segment. 
Copilia guadrata has been recorded from the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans, and 
from the Mediterranean. 
3. Coprlia vitrea (Haeckel). 
Hyalophyllum vitreum Uaeckel, 1864, p. 63, pl. 1. 
Copilia vitrea Giesbrecht, 1893, p. 647, pls. 2 & 50. 
One female apparently identical with the above species was found in the plankton 
collected with the HENsSEN vertical net at Station 220, from a depth of 200 metres to the surface. 
The cephalic segment is rather irregular in shape. It is moderately narrow in front 
and is somewhat expanded behind. The furcal joints are five times longer than the anal segment. 
This Cofzfza has been recorded from the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and from the 
Mediterranean. 
44. Family LicHoMoLGIDAE. 
Genus Pachysoma Claus, 1863. 
The members of this genus can be recognised by the broad pyriform body with its 
distinctly pointed forehead, by the pointed fourth thoracic segment, and by the short abdomen. 
The antennules are seven to eight-jointed. The exopodites and endopodites of the four pairs 
of swimming feet are three-jointed. 
One species was represented in the plankton collected by the ‘Siboga’.
