. Discovery reports. Discovery (Ship); Scientific expeditions; Ocean; Antarctica; Falkland Islands. COLOSSENDEIDAE IS Remarks. The subchelate termination of the oviger places this species near to C. scotti, Caiman, and C. australis, Hodgson.^ It resembles the latter in having the lateral processes separated, but differs from it, and from most previously described species," in the lateral articulation of the eighth palpal joint. This method of articulation is apparently normal, occurring in both palps of the holotype and of the male (Fig. 2 b, c and d\ the seventh segment is longer in both the smaller specimens than in the holotype). In the immature specimen the left palp is normal; but the right one is abnormal (Fig. 2 e) in that the seventh segment appears to be absent, although there is perhaps a hint of a suture near the distal extremity of the sixth joint. C. tortipalpis differs further from C. australis in the following respects: (i) it is a smoother, more slender form, (2) the proboscis is more tapering and graceful (cf. Fig. 3 c and d), (3) the sub-terminal spine on last segment of oviger is more strongly developed (cf. Fig. 4 a and b), and (4) the tarsus is much shorter, while the claw is longer (cf. Fig. 3 a and b)..
