While the type of this species includes only the anterior end of
the body, its characters seem sufficiently marked for subsequent
identification. As in _lampra_, the anterior segments are darkened
with purplish brown pigment, especially adjacent to the setigerous
papillæ and about the tori, the ventral plates, however, remaining
pale. Branchial membrane also pigmented caudally, and the branchiæ
transversely banded. Only two eyes on each side are present in the
type, a single one each on the second and third radiole from the dorsal
end of the series. These eyes are exceptionally large and prominent,
much larger than in any of the other species here recorded, embracing
practically the entire width of the stalk. The free dorsal edges of
the branchial membrane nearly straight, each with only a very slight
angulation near its anterior end, not being truly lobate. Nine pairs
of radioles. Minor dorsal lobes of collar prominent, produced well
forward, curving a little mesad distally, the mesal edge reflected down
the dorsal groove as usual.
Width, .75 mm. Length of branchiæ, 2.5 mm.
Type--M. C. Z. 2, 177.
_Pseudopotamilla scotia_ sp. nov.
Differing from the other species here described in having nine
setigerous thoracic somites. Anterior somites of thorax darkened
above, down the sides on both sides of the tori and also more or less
ventrally with purplish brown pigment. Processes or lobes on free edge
of branchial membrane above almost of same form as in _P. lampra_ and
similarly overlapping. Nineteen pairs of branchial radioles. No eyes.
Ventral lobes of collar prolonged, subacute, not overlapping. In the
dorsal fasciæ of the ordinary thoracic somites the dorsal setæ are
arranged mostly in more or less single, curved, longitudinal series,
the clavate ventrals being arranged in two vertical series at right
angles to the line of the dorsals. Pennoned setæ of the uncinigerous
tori very prominent. Only a few of the most anterior abdominal segments
present in type.
Greatest width, 2 mm. Length of branchiæ, 4 mm.
Type--M. C. Z. 2, 178.
Taken in a large white sponge.
