Hawaiian Stomatopods — ToWNSLEY

relative, P. oculata, are both known from the 
Pacific, Indian, and Atlantic oceans. Ordina- 
rily they are found in the intertidal area in 
these regions, but Bigelow (1891) reports 
that P. ciliata was collected at a depth of 
20-23 fathoms. P. ciliata has been reported 
from the Hawaiian Islands, Fiji Islands, So- 
lomon Islands, Loyalty Islands, Japan, New 
Britain, New Guinea, Red Sea, Madagascar, 
Bermuda, Florida Keys, Puerto Rico, and St. 
Thomas.

DESCRIPTION: Carapace longer than great- 
est breadth, slightly narrower anteriorly than 
posteriorly, with conspicuous gastric grooves, 
cervical groove wholly absent, lacking carinae, 
anterolateral and posterolateral angles un- 
armed and rounded. Rostrum with small me- 
dian spine, about as wide as long, covering 
ophthalmic somite. Eyes flattened, appearing 
somewhat club-shaped rather than tubular 
(compare Figs. \\a and 12), cornea set trans- 
versely on stalk. Merus of raptorial claw ar- 
ticulating terminally with ischium, ventral 
surface grooved longitudinally throughout its 
length for reception of propodus; propodus 
with fine pectinations along upper surface and 
with four movable spines near proximal end; 
dactylus with three long, sharp teeth. Propo- 
dus of fifth thoracic appendage subcircular, 
slightly longer than wide. Mandibular palp 
of three segments. Free thoracic and abdom- 
inal somites compressed, all lacking longi- 
tudinal carinae; fifth, sixth, seventh, and 
eighth thoracic somites exposed; postero- 
lateral angles of abdominal somites with 
small, sharp spines; fifth abdominal somite 
with two sublateral spines; sixth abdominal 
somite with two submedian and two sub- 
lateral spines. Telson with nine carinae, one 
median, two submedian, two intermediate, 
two sublateral, two lateral; armed with six 
spines, two submedian with movable tips, 
two intermediate, two lateral; no submedian 
denticles, two intermediate denticles, single 
lateral denticle. Exopod of uropods with ten 
(sometimes 11) movable spines along outer 
margin. Elongated basal portion of uropod 
with outer spine longer than inner (Fig. 12). 
Accessory reproductive organ of male shown 
in Figure 13. All specimens were a mottled 
tan and all possessed a dark spot on the lateral 
edges of the carapace, as noted by Kemp 
( 1913 ). The dactyli are tipped with rose. Spec- 
imens vary from 35 to 70 mm. in length. 
DISCUSSION: This species superficially re- 
sembles the more common P. ciliata. In Ha- 
waiian waters the two species are commonly 
found in the same habitat, and, except through 
close scrutiny, P. oculata may often be mis- 
taken for P. ciliata. The eyes of this species 
are very characteristic in shape and contrast
