Type. — Museum of comparative zoology, no. 6728, Crustacea. 
This beautiful form agrees so closely in most respects with the 
descriptions of Anoplodactylus (= Phoxichilidium) insignis given 
in the report of the Challenger expedition (Hoek, ’81, p. 82-84, pi. 
14, fig. 5-7) that it can hardly be considered a different species; 
but on the other hand it differs in a number of characters, so that it 
can scarcely be called identical. The principal differences are 
enumerated below. 
The fourth trunk segment is not marked off from the third. Hoek 
figures a distinct segmentation. 
The hairs on the chelifori are apparently shorter and less 
numerous. 
The eye tubercle instead of being ‘ blunt ’ has a sharply pointed 
prolongation (pi. 22, fig. 29). But for this prolongation, it would 
be a bluntly conical prominence, as may be seen when it is viewed 
laterally (pi. 22, fig. 21). This sharp projection nearly doubles the 
height of the tubercle; the eyes are situated just below the middle, 
i. e ., at the top of the lower, conical part. 
The caudal segment is proportionate^ much longer than in 
insignis and bulges out on the posterior (ventral) border a short 
distance from the base ; Hoek does not mention this in the form 
described by him, and his figures do not show the caudal segment in 
lateral view. 
The ovigera are very similar to those of insignis , but the third 
joint is considerably shorter in proportion to the other joints ; it 
being at least twice as long as the second joint in insignis , but 
noticeably less than twice the length of that joint in the Bermuda 
specimens. 
The femoral joint of the leg is apparently shorter as compared 
with the body, and the second tibial joint is shorter in proportion to 
the femoral. After speaking of the strong conical protuberance at 
the distal end of the first coxal joint, Hoek (’81, p. 83) says that 
“the second bears a still larger one ventrally, and another at the 
distal extremity.” I do not understand this, as the Bermuda speci¬ 
mens have but one such protuberance on this joint and that is both
