Harmothoë pallida (Ehlers) l ). 



(Gattyana pallida Ehl.). 



Siboga-expedition, Stat. 65 a , off Tanah Djampeah, at a depth of 400 M. 



At the above-named Station a small worm was dredged, that must 

 be identified with Gattyana pallida, caught by the Deutsche Tiefsee-expe- 

 dition south off Poeloe Nias, at a depth of 616 M. It measures 21mm. 

 in length and has 37 segments. The species is characterized by its reni- 

 form scales, that have the scar of attachment situated near their concave 

 margin, and show an areolate structure, especially in the vicinity of 

 the margin. 



Harmothoë dictyophora (Grube) 2 ). 



Siboga-expedition, Stat. 258, Toeal-anchorage, Kei-islands; Stat. 310, 

 East off Soembawa. 



This species appears te be distributed over a very large area, for it 

 was mentioned from the Gulf of Persia (Fauvel) as well as from Sharks- 

 bay in South-west-Australia (Michaelsen and Hartmeyer). 



? Harmothoë Kerguelensis (Mc Intosh) 3 ). 



Siboga-expedition, Stat. 256, north off Kei-island, at a depth of 397 M. 



A worm, that much agrees with Evarne Kerguelensis Mc Int. from 

 Kerguelen-island. It measures about 10 mm. in length and consists of 37 

 segments. There are two pairs of conspicuous eyes, the anterior of them 

 situated on the lateral prominences of the head, the posterior ones in 

 its posterior half. The scales are roundish, slightly concave in front; the 

 outer and posterior part of their margin is provided with long cilia, 

 whereas their surface is for the greater part covered with conical spines, 

 towards the posterior border a few of them increasing to large, bluntly 

 conical papillae. 



Harmothoë atra n. sp. 



Siboga-expedition, Stat. 19, bay of Laboean Tring, Lombok. 



Head blackish, nearly as long as broad, divided in two halves by a 

 conspicuous median groove; it is provided with two blunt frontal peaks 

 that bear the large anterior eyes. The posterior pair of eyes are 

 smaller and lie hidden under a nuchal collar. The antennae as well as 

 the cirri provided with papillae. On the dorsum of each segment there
