CYCLOPOIDEA. 1231 



stylet. The setae of the anterior antennae are rather shorter than 

 these organs. The first joint of the abdomen is partly included 

 between the rounded projections of the cephalothorax either side. 



Another specimen, taken in the Balabac Passage, had the stylets 

 somewhat shorter in proportion, and possibly was a different species. 

 It had two bags of eggs attached. Figure 13 e, represents the abdo- 

 men and one of the ovarian sacs. The caudal stylets are mutilated. 



Very similar specimens, of a red colour, probably of the same species, 

 were found twelve miles north of New Zealand. Longest hairs of 

 stylets twice as long as stylet. 



Genus COPILIA, Dana. 



Corpus depressum, fronte quadratum, conspicilla ad angulos anticos 

 germs. Antennce posticce rnonodactylce, digito elongato, subidato. 

 Abdomen paud-articulatiim, appendicibus basalibus carens. 



Body depressed, quadrate in front and having the conspicilla very dis- 

 tant, being situated on the angles. Posterior antennae monodactyle, 

 the finger long subulate. Abdomen few-jointed, without appendages 

 at base. 



The species here included differ from the Corycaei in having the 

 body depressed, with the front broad truncate, and the conspicilla 

 occupying the distant angles. In other respects they resemble more 

 the Corycaei than the Sapphirinae. The anterior antennae of the two 

 species seen have five joints. The posterior are four-jointed, the first 

 and second long, the second with a prominence and spines on the 

 margin near the basal extremity, which may in grasping be opposed 

 to the long moveable finger. The third joint is short. The finger 

 appears to have free motion at the articulation with the third joint, 

 instead of acting in concert with this joint, the common mode in the 

 Corycaei.
