Le 19 juillet 1928 l'auteur trouva près de Natal, capitale de l'État de Rio Grande do Norte, a 5º 47' au sud de l'équateur, un nouveau Dendrocephalus qui portera le nom ornatus, dû a ses appendices caudales teints d'écarlate brillant. La femelle (Pl.1) atteint 12 mm. de longueur e contient des oeufs noirs dans sa cavité d'incubation. Le mâle, beaucoup plus robuste, atteint 16 mm. et montre, outre les caracteres sexuels, une modification extrémement compliquée des deuxièmes antennes (qui dans la planche II sont vues devant les premières). L'espèce est plus petite que les deux autres décrites de l'Amérique du Sud et se distingue facilement par les antennes du mâle. Elle fut trouvée au bord de la route dans une flaque large et profonde d'eau de pluie argileuse. Les exemplares rapportés moururent en quelques jours et la mare, lors d'une seconde visite, fut trouvé sèche. L'autre espèce, observée en 9. 7. 28 dans un étang naturel tout-près de la capitale, avait déjà été observée á Matto Grosso et en Paraguay et déterminée comme Cyclestheria hislopi BAIRD. THIELE pense que les individus de l'Amérique du Sud, pour cause de quelques petites différences, pour-raient nien former une autre espèce qu'il propose d'appeler sarsiana, mais la comparaison des desseins et descriptions avec mes exemplaires ne parait pas soutenir cette idée. Tout-de-mème la répartition connue de cette espèce est extrêmement curieuse et peut-être unique en zoologie. Elle a été signalée à Nagpur (Hindoustan), Ceylon, Queensland (Australie), Célèbes, Afrique orientale et Sansibar; seulement le premier lieu se trouve bien au nord de l'équateur, mais encore dans la zone tropicale, comme toutes les autres localités. L'explication de cette extension sur les deux mondes est tout ce qu'il a de plus difficile, puisque entre les localisations il n'y a pas seulement d'énormes distances sur terre (que l'on pourrait expliquer par un défaut d'observations), mais des espaces tres étendus, occupés par la mer. L'intervention de l'homme ne saurait expliquer ces faits et le transport par les oiseaux aquatiques ne pourrait être qu'un fait tout-a-fait excepcionnel pour les grands trajets océaniques. Le recours aux terres hypothétiques, qui formaient des ponts intercontinentaux dans des périodes géologiques extrêmement reculées, recontre des objections évidentes. En tous les cas on ne peut qu'admirer la constance avec laquelle le type de l'espèce s'est maintenu durant d'innombrales générations et a travers de telles distances quand les autres phyllopodes ont formé non seulement des variétés, mais même un grand nombre de genre et de familles.

On the 10th of july the author found about 36 km. from Natal, capital of the brazilian State Rio Grande do Norte, at 5º 47' southern latitude, a new kind of Dendrocephalus which he proposes to name ornatus on account of the brillant scarlet colour of the caudal appendices. The female (Pl. 1) reaches 12 mm. in length and shows black eggs in its breeding cavity; the male attains 16 mm. and is much stouter, while its second antennae (which in Pl. 2 are seen in front of the first pair) show the most complicated structure, so far seen and delineated. They form the principal feature of the species which was caught in the muddy water of a large and deep puddle, formed by rain at the side of the road. This later dried up, while the specimens brought alive to the capital died in a few days. The second species, a Cyclestheria, was observed in a permanent natural pond in a suburb of Natal. Like other specimens from Matto Grosso and Paraguay, it was determined as hislopi BAIRD, the only known species. THIELE thought that the brazilian species might be separated under the name sarsiana, but the comparison of the specimens with other descriptions and drawings does not support this view. The strangest fact about this species is its distribution which includes western India (Nagpur), Ceylon, Australia (Queensland), Celebes, East Afrika and Sansibar, only the first place being considerably north of the equator. This distribution is very hard to explain, as there are not only large distances by land, but wide stretches of sea between these places, so that the supposition of a gradual transport by man or animals does not help much. Transportation by means of aquatic birds, if possible, must be extremely rare while the supposed landconnections in former geological periods can hardly furnish a satisfactory explanation. At any rate, it seems very wonderful that the same type should have kept true over such distances and through countless generations while other phyllopods seem to have formed not only varieties but many new species and even genera.

Auszug aus obiger Mitteilung; Am 19ten Juli 1928 fand der Autor in der Naehe von Natal, Hauptstadt des brasilianischen Staates Rio Grande do Norte, bei ca. 5º 47' suedlicher Breite, einen neuen Dendrocephalus, der, wegen seiner brillant scharlachroten Schwanzanhaenge, ornatus genannt wurde. Das Weibchen (Tafel 1) wird ca. 12 mm. lang und zeigt in seinem Bruetsack schwarze Eier; das Maennchen ist 16 mm. lang und bedeutend dicker. Seine zweiten Antennen, die auf Tafel 2 vor den ersten sichtbar sind, erreichen wohl den hoechsten Grad von Complizirtheit, der bisher abgebildet wurde und sind fuer die neue Art charakteristisch. Sie and sich in dem lehmigen Wasser einer grossen und tiefen Pfuetze an feinem Strassenrande. Die mitgenommenen Exemplare starben allmaelig ab und die Pfuetze trocknete spaeter aus. Die zweite Art (9-7-28 in Natal beobachtet) war eine Cyclestheria, sehon frueher in Matto Grosso und Paraguay gefunden und mit hislopi BAIRD identificirt. THIELE meint, dass vielleicht die brasilianische Art als sarslana abgetrennt werden sollte, indessen spricht die Vergleichung der Originalien und unabhaenger Zeichnungen nicht dafuer. Es ist eine hoechst auffaellige Tatsache, dass das Vorkommen dieser Art ausserdem in Vorderindien, Ceylon, Australien (Queensland), Celebes, Ostafrika und Sansibar festgestellt wurde und zwar nur einmal ziemlich weit noerdlich vom Aequator. Die Erklaerung dieser Verbreitung stoesst auf die groessten Schwierigkeiten, da zwischen den einzelnen Lokalitaeten weite Meere liegen und nicht bloss Landstriche, in denen die Art uebersehen werden koennte. Transport durch Menschenhand kann fuer groessere Strecken kaum in Betracht kommen und ein solcher durch Wasservoegel muesste jedenfalls ein sehr seltenes Ereigniss sein. Die Erklaerung der Verbreitung ueber hypothetische, in frueheren geologischen Perioden vorhandene Landbruecken ohne Veraenderung der Art kann ebenfalls kaum befriedigen. In allen Faellen kann man sich nur darueber wundern, wie, ueber solche Strecken und durch zahllose Generationen, derselbe Typus festgehalten wurde, waehrend sich bei anderen Phyllopoden nicht bloss Varietaeten, sondern neue Arten und sogar Gattungen gebildet haben.
