PALINURID2E. 
Palinurus longimanus (M.-E.) var. n. mauritianus, Miers, P. Z. S. 1882,

Palinurellus (Martens, 1878). The identity of Arceosternus (De Man, 
1881) with this genus is acknowledged by De Man, Not. Leyd. Mus. ii. 
pp. 161 & 162, and of Synaxes (Spence Bate, 1881) with it by Boas, Zool. 
Anz. 1882, pp. 111-114 ; the latter observes that it approaches Homarus, 
but has no direct relations to the Scyllaridce. T. C. Winkler, after reca- 
pitulating at length what is known about the fossil genera Pemphix and 
Glyphea, comes to the conclusion that thoy form a continuous series of 
forms from the Trias to the Quaternary period, culminating in the 
Oxfordian strata, and that Arceosternus is the last and only living repre- 
sentative of them ; Ann. N. H. (5) x. pp. 133-149 & 306-317.
