Pseudopallene longicollis (Stock, 1953 b). Material examined. USNM 10953. 1 Female. Canada; off Newfoundland, 42 ° 48 ' 00"N, 050° 55 ' 30 "W. depth 825 fms. Albatross stn 2428. Det. J. W. Hedgpeth. Remarks. This specimen is accompanied by five labels one of which is typewritten, the others handwritten. One early label identifies the specimen as Palene (sic) malleolata ?; two labels belong to another accession lot which was identified as Cordylochele malleolata by A. E. Verrill, (NSNM 10954 with the same station data but from a depth of 471 fms) and two others are identifications by Hedgpeth, one as Cordylochele malleolata and the other (most recent) as Pseudopallene malleolata. Unfortunately this reexamination of the USNM registered specimen has added confusion to the status of this specimen. This specimen was one of more than seventeen from four stations and cited by Hedgpeth (1948) as Pseudopallene malleolata. In the same paper he also cited three specimens of C. longicollis. His illustration of C. malleolata (Hedgpeth, 1948 fig 20 a) with widely-spaced legs is somewhat intermediate between Sars’ illustrations of C. malleolata and C. longicollis (Sars, pl. 4, figs. 1 and 2). Sars (1891) described the lateral processes of C. malleolata as being separated by distinct though narrow intervals, the oviger claw as comparatively short (“a good deal shorter than oviger segment 10 ”), the legs on their outer part as densely hairy, the propodus as powerfully developed and somewhat curved and the propodal claw as much shorter than the propodus. All of these characters are inconsistent with the USNM specimen which is most like C. longicollis. In this specimen the lateral processes are widely separated, the oviger claw is long (> ...
