. Annals of the South African Museum = Annale van die Suid-Afrikaanse Museum. Natural history. J0< ANNALS OF THE SOUTH AFRICAN MUSEUM The notopodium is well developed (fig. ic) and bears numerous sabre- shaped notosetae much stouter than the neurosetae. Each notoseta (fig. id, d') bears numerous rows of strong serrations and has a short, flanged and bluntly pointed tip. The neuropodium is rather short with a triangular presetal lobe and rounded postsetal lip. The neurosetae (fig. le, e1) have rather long blades with 15-20 rows of well-marked spinules. The tips are of normal length and bidentate, but the relative size of the two teeth varies. In superior setae the secondary tooth is not much smaller than the terminal one, but in the middle of the series the secondary tooth decreases and inferior setae have a strong terminal tooth and a weak secondary one, only half the length of the terminal. There are many resemblances between this species and H. exanthema var. bergstromi Monro 1936 from the Magellan area. An examination of the type in the British Museum proved that the main difference is in the character of the tubercles on the elytra. In Monro's species there is a scattering of uniformly small, slightly curved conical tubercles and a few very large, soft, pedunculate vesicles but no intermediate forms. Moreover the antennae and cirri are more densely papillose, the notosetae have finer serrations and the neurosetae have longer naked tips and a smaller secondary Fig. 1. Harmothoe profunda. (a) Head.
