CRUSTACEA DECAPOD A—BORRADAILE. 
77 
Elamena longirostris, Filhol, 1885. 
Echinomaia hispida, n. gen. et sp. 
Paramithrax ( Paramithrax) latreillei, Miens, 1879. 
,, (. Leptomithrax) afjinis, n. sp. 
,, parvus , n. sp. 
All were taken at or near the north end of the North Island. 
Twelve of the twenty-nine species are new. Nearly all the others have already 
been recorded from New Zealand waters. Of those which have not, Aegean cataphractus 
is a very widely distributed species whose appearance here need cause little surprise. 
The specimen which I have doubtfully referred to Arctus imrnaturus indicates, if the 
reference lie correct, the occurrence of a Cape Verde species near New Zealand. In the 
moderately deep water to the North of New Zealand there is evidently a very rich 
and varied decapod fauna, which well deserves the attention of New Zealand zoologists. 
(3) The single species from Melbourne Harbour was Leucifer hanseni , Nobili, 
1905. 
(4) The tropical Atlantic species from near Rio de Janeiro and South Trinidad 
Island comprise : 
Pandalus paucidens, Miers, 1881. 
Neptunus ( Ilellenus) spinicarpus (Stm.), 1870. 
Goneplax hirsutus, n. sp. 
Gecarcinus lagostoma, H. M.-Edw., 1837. 
Eurypodius latreillei, Guerin, 1828. 
Persephona ( Mgr op sis) laevis, n. sp. 
Geographically speaking they are a mixed assemblage. Persephona laevis and 
Neptunus spinicarpus indicate West Indian affinities for the fauna, Goneplax hirsutus is 
a link with the North, while Pandalus paucidens and Eurypodius latreillei are 
Magellanic. Gecarcinus lagostoma is the only land decapod taken by the expedition. 
Some of the pelagic Sergestidae mentioned below were taken in this region. 
(5) The pelagic species from the Atlantic were the following Sergestidae : 
Sergestes atlanticus, H. M.-Edw., 1830. 
,, pacifcus, Stm., 1860. 
,, cornutus, Ivr., 1859. 
,, corniculum, Kr., 1859. 
,, ed ward si, Kr., 1859. 
,, vigilax, Stm., 1860. 
Leucifer hatei, Borr., 1915. 
,, faxoni, Borr., 1915. 
There is nothing remarkable in the occurrence of any of them.
