W. Lill JEBORG, 1876. The correctness of the determination of the former species was
verilied. For the result of my re-examination of the latter form see the remark on the
subgenus Cypridina below.
The Collection sent to me from the Zoological Museum o i Christiania
included the following species: Cypridina (Vargula) norvegica W. Baird, C. (Vargula) megalops
G. O. SARS, Philomedes Lilljéborgi G. 0. Sars, Asterope norvegica G. 0. Sars, A. abyssicola
G. 0. Sars, Conchoecia elegans G. 0. Sars and C. borealis G. O. SARS, all of which were
determined by Professor Sars himself. For the results of my re-examination of this material see
the respective species below. (On the same occasion as this collection was sent to me Professor
Sars informed me that the original material of his work of 1887 — which 1 asked permission
to investigate — had unfortunately been completely lost.)
From the Cope nhagen Zoolo gi cal Museum I obtained a portion of the material
on which G. S. Brady based his treatise of 1902 a. The following marine species were found in
this collection (the names are those used in G. S. Brady’s treatise): Asterope ocidata, A. lichenoides,
Cyclasterope fascigera, C. brevis, C. similis, Cypridina foveolata, C. insolita, Pyrocypris americana,
P. Chierchiae, Cypridinodes favus, Codonoccra cruenta, Conchoecia spinirostris, C. striata and
Euconchoecia Chierchiae. Of these specie;s Asterope lichenoides, Cyclasterope brevis, Cypridina
foveolata (according to G. S. Brady’s label - Cypridina monopia Claus) and Codonocera cruenta
were represented bv an empty shell and Cyclasterope similis, Cypridina insolita and
Cypridinodes favus only by one valve. Because of this I thought it best not to deal with these forms
at any length in this work. Asterope oculata and Cyclasterope fascigera are re-described by
me below. Conchoecia spinirostris (from lat. 26u N. and long. 29u \V.) and Euconchoecia Chierchiae
were correctly determined; see these species below.* For the result of my re-examination
of Pyrocypris Chierchiae see the remarks on the sub-genus Cypridina below. For the same
reasons as are given at the place mentioned it did not seem convenient to me to deal in this
work with P. americana, the other species of this sub-genus; there are in this collection a couple
of mature individuals of this species. Conchoecia striata is presumably incorrectly determined,
but the material is so poor that it does not seem to be possible to arrive at a certain
identification; i liave accordingly refrained from trying to give any definite answer to the question
as to the identity of this form.
Professor G. W. Müller kindly sent me at my request specimens of Cypridina
(Vargula) antarctica G. \Y. MÜLLER and Asterope teres (A. M. Norman); for the result of
my re-examination of these specimens see the former species below and my remarks mider
Asterope Müllen.
For the purpose of carrying out a verificatory investigation 1 wrote to Professor G. S.
Brady for specimens of Asterope Mariae (\Y. Baird) and A. teres (A. .M. Norman). I obtained
a mature female of the latter species; for the result of my investigation of this specimen see
Asterope Mullen below. I also received five specimens of the former species; the result of
my investigation of these will be found under Asterope aberrata and A. norvegica below.
* ( )ne specimen in the sample lit hel led ÇoncJtonin spinirostris was, however, a mature l’emale of C. bispinosa C. Claus;
see this species below.
