All of the specimens that I collected at the type-locality, Big Fisherman's Cove, were clinging to algae on a floating dock after dark. The grass shrimp Hippolyte clarki Chace was taken at the same time. In life, three of the animals were trans- lucent with brown spots formed by chromatophores. The species' name refers to these brown spots. The animal taken in 1984 was pale green. A color slide of a living H. fuscimaculatus has been deposited in the collection of the California Academy of Sciences.
