PACIFIC SCIENCE, Vol. XX, April 1966 
LOCALITIES: Fiji: 1 specimen from BF 13; 
2, BF 14 Tonga: 1 specimen from BT 1; 
32, BT 7. 
DISCUSSION: These specimens, according to 
our partially burned notes, showed some 
characteristics that were closer to those of A. 
edamensis de Man than of A. hippothoe, 
especially in slight differences in relative pro- 
portions of the appendages. With the loss of 
the specimens, the characteristics cannot be 
reviewed. 
Alpheus funafutensis Borradaile
