Scattered small white dots over branchiostegite and pleura. Ovary and ova bright green. host: Macrodactylus aspera Haddon & Shackleton (Actiniaria). All 18 specimens (no. 837) were obtained from the single host anemone. REMARKS.' This species has not been previously recorded from Australia and these records represent a considerable extension of the known range of this species. The association of this species with an actinarian host has also not been previously reported and is of interest. It is thought probable that the other Australian specimens, as well as those from Singapore, may have been also associated with anemones but that on disturbance these hosts had withdrawn into the soft substrate leaving the shrimps among the surrounding phanerogams to be caught by the collector's net.
