Abstract / Notes

The material, found on some rocky islands in the neighborhood of the Zool. Sta. of Kristineberg, is described
as ALEXLUTHERIA acrosiphoniae. Living animals and microsections are described. Comparisons are made with
other genera, with references to the literature, and the need for a thorough systematic revision of the
family is discussed. Some notes on ecology include the remark that the biotope can be compared with that of
the Otoplana-zone. Some of the specimens were found among the rocks, some among algae.
