Habitat.
There are eight pairs of g i 11 s, rather broad and almost equally broad throughout their
whole lengtli; they are somewhat rounded distally.

Remarks: — The re-description of this species given above is based on a single specimen
which was kindly placed at my disposai for re-examination by the Copenhagen Z o o 1
o-g i c a 1 Muse u m. The specimen in question had been denoted as the type specimen by
Professor G. S. BRADY, the describer of this species. This statement must, however, be considered
incorrect, as the specimen was not dissected, and the original description was made from a
dissected specimen. On the other hand there seems to be no doubt that the specimen really
belongs to the species to which it has been ascribed.
In several respects the specimen was not in a very good condition for the description
of details; in addition some parts of it happened to be destroyed by an accident when it was
dissected. Because of this the description given above had to be left incomplete in several points.
In spite of this I hope it is complete enough to permit of certainty in identifying the species.
Some divergencies from G. S. BrADY’s original description may be noted, but for these it
is only necessary to compare the two descriptions. These differences are probably to be explained
as due entirely to the superficial method of investigation used in the original description.
G. S. Brady states that this species was caught at two localities in Java „Sourabaya,
several specimens, 0’ ?; Cheribon, 4 y2 fathoms, one specimen, d“- I« addition one specimen,
a male, is said to have been caught at Madeira. This last statement as to locality is certainly
a mistake. It undoubtedly refers to the specimen described by me above. On the original
label attached to this we read: „Madoura, øens ostende, Andréa, 1870“. In other words the
specimen comes from the east end of the islancl of Madoera (Madura) on the north side of Java.
near Sourabaya, i. e. from a locality in the neighbourliood of the two other localities.
