PYCNOGONIDA FSOM TEE QUEENSLAND COAST. 
In the holotype it is impossible to make out the structure of the o vigors. 
In the specimen collected by Mr. Ward these appendages give evidence of 
immaturity. Each consists of ten joints. It is surprising to find that the limb 
is terminated by a small but distinct claw. This has not so far been recorded 
as occurring in any other member of the genus. It is unfortunately impossible 
to determine whether such a claw is present on the oviger in the holotype. 
Figure o. — Nymphopsis armatus Haswell. Left oviger (x 10). 
The chelophores are well developed in the Whitsunday Passage specimen, 
and in this as in the holotype the chela shaft consists of one joint. 
Affinities . — A full consideration of the structure of the two forms 
indicates that it is not possible to regard N. korotneiri as a synonym of 
N. armatus. 
A . armatus is obviously very closely related to A . anarthrus Loman, 1928, 
with which it agrees in the unjointed nature of the chelophore scape and in 
the presence of two dorsal trunk elevations. The latter species, recorded by 
Loman from the coast of Venezuela (1928), is devoid of auxiliary claws, and in 
it, too, the trunk elevations are very high and pointed. Further, N. armatus 
differs from all other species of the genus in having but two pairs of large 
pinnate spines on the abdomen. In all others there are four pairs.

Specimen . — One male, Australian Museum Keg. No. P9343. 
Locality . — Dredged in 9-12 fathoms, Albany Passage, near Cape York, 
Northern Queensland, coll. Mr. Mel. Ward, Sept. 1928. 
Remarks . — This male agrees very well in its structure with the description 
of the holotype as given by Miers. His statement that the divisions between the 
segments appear only on the ventral side is true for this specimen also. The 
trunk is somewhat broader than is indicated in Miers ’s figures. Miers ’s drawing 
of the oviger leaves much to be desired, especially with regard to the last few 
joints. It is correctly depicted by Carpenter (1893, plate ii, fig. 11). 
Some of the spines on the legs of this species resemble those found in 
F. crosslandi Carpenter, 1910, and in P. alcocki Caiman, 1923. There is no doubt
