Augener, who has seen the type, states that Polynoe vesiculosa, Grube, from the Magellan region is the same as Harmothoe exafithema, and as I regard the present examples as distinctly separable from the latter species I have established a new variety. I rather suspect that Ehlers (1897, p. 14 and 1901, p. 42) had before him examples both of this form and of exanthema, and included them both under the name vesiculosa.
