The type of this species is a small individual which, as preserved,
appears of a uniform dusky color throughout. Branchial radioles
fourteen or fifteen pairs; in a single series, the membrane not
being coiled. No eye spots. Collar with ventral lobes proportionately
long and acute, the dorsal lobes small and approximate. Notopodial
setæ of usual two types; few. Uncini with beak divergent, nearly
horizontal, the "neck" short and the edge of body below bulging much
as in _Paralaonome japonica_. Body furrowed along each side just
above notopodia excepting anteriorly. Ventral plates sharply limited,
elevated; all of abdominal plates bisected by the median longitudinal
sulcus excepting the first one, which is entire. Total number of
somites, fifty-six, of which eight are thoracic.
Length without branchiæ, 12 mm.; with branchiæ, near 15 mm.
Type--M. C. Z. 2, 175.
Taken among tufted algæ, June 25, 1911 (C. F. Baker).
_Pseudopotamilla lampra_ sp. nov.
In this form the collar membrane is crossed by a series of longitudinal
dark stripes, one in line with each radiole, as in _Potamilla
colorata_, these narrowing caudad. Branchiæ sometimes mostly dark with
light transverse bands. Anterior thoracic segments darkly pigmented
both above and below, and also along both sides of tori, and most
setigerous papillæ and tori of succeeding regions of body also
surrounded in some degree with a pigmented area. Branchial membrane
with free dorsal edges produced into two lobes on each side, the two of
each pair overlapping, the posterior lobe rounded, the anterior angular
with its caudal margin transverse and the other long and oblique.
Radioles nineteen pairs, several of these at dorsomesal end of series
much reduced. Eyes conspicuous but few, only one, or occasionally two,
on a radiole and some radioles wholly lacking them. This species has
only seven setigerous thoracic somites. Total number of segments, near
ninety-four.
Length, about 28 mm.; with branchiæ, 33 mm.
A note states that this form is pinkish in life. A paratype was taken
"in a large white sponge."
Type--M. C. Z. 2, 176.
_Pseudopotamilla macrops_ sp. nov.
