Lichornolgus buddhensis, n. sp. — Plate XV., figs. 18 to 24. 



Length, female 1 millim. ; male unknown. 



Cephalothorax broadly ovate, about 4 times as long as the abdomen, which is 



3 -jointed ; the genital segment being about 4 times the size of the 2 combined 



succeeding joints ; it is much swollen in the middle. Anterior antennae 7-jointed, the

Mandible and palp short. Maxillipeds and natatory legs similar to P. ieversi. 

 Furca quadrate, very small. 



Several specimens, all females, were found in the general washings of dredged 

 Invertebrates. The very short abdomen and furca are quite characteristic of this 

 species — named in honour of the celebrated home of Buddhism from which it came. 



Lichomolgus lankensis, n. sp. — Plate XV., figs. 25, 26. 



Length, female I/O millim. ; male unknown. 



Cephalothorax ovate. Abdomen 3-jointed ; genital segment about as long as the 

 combined two succeeding joints and furca. Anterior antennae 7-jointed, the propor- 

 tional lengths being as follows : — '- : '- —— — -

Posterior antennae, mouth organs, and natatory legs as in L. gracilis. 



Three specimens, all females, were found in the general washings of dredged 

 Invertebrates. Its general form, and the comparative shortness of the anterior 

 antennas and furca, distinguish this species from others of the genus. 



Licliomolgus simplex, n. sp. — Plate XV., figs. 27 to 34. 



Length, female 0'88 millim. ; male 0"8 millim. 



Cephalothorax 6-jointed, abdomen (female) 4-jointed, male abdomen 5-jointed, 

 genital segment double in size that of the female ; anterior antennas 6-jointed, the 



proportional lengths being as follows : -

Posterior antennas 3-jointed, the middle one very short ; terminal joint 3 times 

 the length of the second, with 2 apical spines. Mandible constricted in centre ; outer 

 portion somewhat quadrate, with ciliated edges bearing 2 small corner filaments and 

 a plumose spine. Maxillipeds similar to L. buddhensis, but stouter. Natatory legs 

 as in L. gracilis. 



Furcal rami about 3 times as long as broad. A few specimens of each sex were 

 found in the washings from sponges dredged in the Gulf of Manaar. The general 

 shape of the animal and of the abdomen and furca and the jointing of the anterior 

 antennae serve to distinguish this species,
