Length of first sixteen segments, 15 mm.; including branchiæ, 21 mm.;
width, 2.5 mm.
Type--M. C. Z. 2, 172.
_Potamilla colorata_ sp. nov.
The type is notably marked with black pigment; the collar membrane
crossed with a close series of longitudinal dark stripes, one in
line with each radiole and narrowing caudad; the branchiæ crossed
transversely with dark bands. Thoracic somites, more notably the
anterior ones, with a dusky to black band in front of each uncinigerous
torus and a dark spot on the dorsum mesad of the setigerous papilla.
The collar with a dark area ventrad and also dorsad of the fascicle.
Ground color greyish of light brown cast, lacking the yellow dominating
in omissa. Sixteen (or seventeen) pairs of radioles in the branchiæ.
Ventral lobes of collar pointed, widely overlapping in the median
line, dorsal ends free, projecting toward each other in dorsal groove.
Setigerous thoracic somites eight in number. Inferior setæ numerous,
spatulate, usually in two series. Total number of segments present
about fifty-one, a few of the most caudal being lost.
Length, 25 mm.; with branchiæ, 30 mm.
Type--M. C. Z. 2, 173.
_Pseudopotamilla paurops_ sp. nov.
A rather slender species with branchiæ of moderate length. Excepting
the eyes with no pigmented markings. Radioles fifteen pairs. Eyes
few, not present on all radioles; where present usually but a single
one on each radiole, in one case two; the eyes deep purple, variable
in side from moderate to small; situated at varying distance between
base and middle of length of radioles. Free dorsal edge of branchial
membrane with two short obtuse lobes overlapping in the middle line.
The dorsal notch in the collar lobe on each side is mesad of the line
of setigerous tubercles, wide open, rectangular or slightly obtuse;
lobe mesad of notch small, anteriorly rounded, the mesal edge extending
into the dorsal furrow; median ventral lobes separated by a narrow
incision, short, the ectal edge passing out in an even concave curve to
the anterior lateral margin. A characteristic feature of the species
is the presence of ten setigerous thoracic somites. Dorsal setæ of the
usual two types of which the upper are much fewer spatulate setæ in two
series with distal expansion broad and wings asymmetrical, tip short.
Total number of segments, seventy-eight.
Length without branchiæ, 31 mm.; with branchiæ, 36 mm.
Type--M. C. Z. 2, 174.
Tube tough, corneus.
_Pseudopotamilla parva_ sp. nov.
