REPORT ON THE STOMATOPODA. 
21 
LIST OF SPECIES IN THE COLLECTION. 
The small collection of adult Stomatopoda consists of the following fifteen species, 
of which eight are new, while two of the others, Squill a fasciata and Protosquilla 
( Gonoclactylus ) guerinii, have been only imperfectly described from single specimens. 
As there are few T adults which have been traced to their larvae, and as I am able to 
give, from the study of the living specimens, an account of the metamorphosis of an 
undescribecl species, Lysiosquilla ( Coronis ) excavatrix , I have added a systematic 
description of it, with illustrations, and hence the Report contains notes on the following 
sixteen species: — 
Squilla nepa, Latreille. Five males and two females from Pokoska, Japan, taken 
with the trawl in 5 to 25 fathoms ; one male from Kobe, Japan, 
8 to 50 fathoms ; one female from Reefs at Honolulu ; one female 
taken with the trawl in 15 fathoms, on the coast of Japan, at 
Station 233b, lat. 34° 18' N., long. 133° 35' E.
