Forekomst og Udbredning. Enkelte Exemplarer af 
denne smukke og anselige .Art blev under Ex|)editionens 
sidste Togt taget pan 3 forskjellige Stationer, alle i Havet 
omkring Spitsbergen, Dybden fra 123 til 260 Eavne. Og- 
saa fra vor Kyst (Fimnarken) bar jeg nogle inindrc Exem- 
plarer. Endelig er ogsaa nylig samme Art bleven opfort 
af Smith som forekommende ved Nordamerikas 0stkyst.

er Tilfmldet med de bagre. Ligeledes er Formen af de 2 
forreste Fodpar noget forskjellig. Skegten Paramhpithoe

Occurrence and Distribution. — A few individuals 
of this beautiful and imposing species were taken, on the 
last cruise of the Expedition, at 3 different Stations, all 
oft' the shores of Spitsbergen; depth ranging from 123 to 
260 fathoms. From the coast of Norway, too (Finmark). 
I have several smaller specimens. Finally, the same species 
has been lately recorded by Smith, as occurring off the 
east coast of North America.

Specific Character. — Body somewhat compressed, 
with uneven surface and well -developed epimera. Head 
furnished with a short rostrum, lateral corners slenderly 
rounded. All the thoracic segments and the 3 anterior 
abdominal segments keeled above along the medial line, 
and running out as compressed, posteriorly directed dorsal 
projections, — the 3 anterior ones obtusely rounded, the 
6 succeeding lanceolate, the last triangular-acute. Lat- 
eral plates of 3rd abdominal segment pointed posteriorly. 
Eyes small, ovato-reniform, reddish-yellow in colour. First 
pair of an tenure exceedingly elongate, about equal to body 
in length, with 1st joint of peduncle longer than the other 
two taken together. Second pair of antenna; scarcely more 
than half as long. The two anterior pairs of legs with hand 
almost twice as long as preceding articulation. Remain- 
ing pairs of legs powerfully developed, with closely dis- 
posed tufts of short bristles. Caudal stylets uniform in 
appearance, with exceedingly produced lanceolate branches. 
Telson small, rounded at point. Length 14”’ w . 
Locality. — Stats. 18, 137, 336. 
Remarks. — The present species approximates very 
closely P. pulchdla Kroyer, but is easily recognized by the 
thoracic segments, including the 3 anterior ones, being all 
of them keeled and running out as dorsal projections, 
whereas in the former species this is the case with the pos- 
terior ones only. Moreover, the form of the 2 anterior pairs 
of legs differs somewhat. The genus Paramphitoe is referred 
by Boeck to the family Oedicerince. In my judgment, it 
should rather be classed among the Epimeridre. Further- 
more, I have seen fit to retain Sp. Bate’s genus Pleustes 
for P. panopla Kroyer, and the species nearest related to 
that form.
