Pilumnoides rotundus Garth, male collected off San Diego, California, a, first pleopod, inner (left) and outer or posterior (right) views, b, higher magnification of tip of first pleopod. c, second pleopod, outer (posterior) view, d, higher magnification of tip of second pleopod. Scale bar = mm for Figs, a, c. Carapace: Garth's figure of the female holotype (Garth 1940: pi. 23, fig. 1), carapace length mm, carapace width mm (LACM ; former AHF 374), has larger anterolateral teeth, and the overall impression is not as rounded as in the San Diego specimen (Fig. la). The carapace in the female paratype (USNM 78736, carapace width mm) photographed by Guinot and MacPherson (1987: pi. 1, fig. K) is much closer to our Fig. la. Garth's figure of the carapace does not show the characteristic distally plumose setae found in clumps scattered over the anterior areolations of the carapace (Figs, la, b, 2a), and these are not visible in Guinot and MacPherson's photograph either. The fronto-orbital region of the carapace figured by Garth (1940: pi. 23, fig. 5) differs from that in our specimen (Figs, lb, 2a) only in the detailed granulation of the epistome and in the setation (which Garth did not illustrate). Chelipeds: Garth's dorsal view of the holotype (Garth 1940: pi. 23, fig. 1) agrees with ours (compare to Figs, la, 2a, b), but unfortunately Garth's figure of the frontal view of the chela of the holotype (Garth 1940, pi. 23, fig. 2) shows it with rather few short setae, thereby minimizing one of the most salient features of the species. Similarly, Guinot and MacPherson's photograph (1987: pi. 1, fig. L) of the chela of the female paratype (USNM 78736) seems to have been taken with the appendages out of water, such that the setae are matted. The overall appearance is therefore quite different from our figures (especially 2a, b), which were drawn with the specimen submerged to allo
