PYCNOGONIDA FBOM THE QUEENSLAND COAST. 
Locality . — Albany Passage, near Cape York, Northern Queensland 9-12 
fathoms, coll. Mel. Ward, Sept. 1928. 
Description . — The body is generally slender and hirsute, the hairiness 
being much more evident in the male than in the female. The trunk is slender 
and definitely segmented. The crurigers are long and slender, separated from 
TTolotypo male; dorsal view with legs omitted. 
one another by spaces equal to or a little more than their own width. The 
posterior edge of each trunk segment is produced dorsally into a median more or 
less sharply pointed process beset by long spiny hairs. There are four of these 
piocesses, the most posterior being much higher and stronger than any of those 
m advance of it. The ocular tubercle is situated over the origin of the palps, 
only a. short distance from the anterior edge of the eephalon. Just in front of 
the first pair of crurigers there is a slight narrowing of the eephalon forming a 
somewhat indefinite neck. The length of the eephalon is just about one-half the 
remaining trunk length, and is somewhat more than half the width of the trunk 
across the first pair of crurigers. The position of the ocular tubercle has been 
noted. It is of moderate height, cylindrical in its lower portion; above, it is 
conical with a sharply pointed process directed slightly backward. The eyes are 
well developed. The anterior pair is larger than the posterior. The proboscis is 
iairly long and reaches on the ventral side to the middle of the hindmost trunk
