LARVAE OF DECAPOD CRUSTACEA 387 This species differs from S. hispidus as follows: (1) The rostrum bears a series of small teeth towards the end. (2) Supra-orbital spine longer and straighter. (3) Pleural spine of abdominal somite 3 very long and straight, overlapping the carapace. (4) Somite 4 with very small pleural spines. (5) Pleural spine of somite 6 very small. The remaining six forms cannot be separated into generic groups. It is quite possible that all may belong to the genus Spongicola,

The remaining six forms cannot be separated into generic groups. It is quite possible that all may belong to the genus Spongicola, but the best course seems to be to describe them simply as problematical members of the family Stenopidae.
