PLATE XIV, FIGURE 5. 



A small and very rare species. Easily recognizable by its trans- 

 versely elliptical and smooth carapace. The tips of the chelae are 

 jet black. The carapace in our specimens, preserved in alcohol 

 for many years, is plain dull yellowish brown. Doubtless it has 

 changed very much. Length of carapace about 8 mm , breadth 13.5 mm . 



This has not been found in any recent collection. Two specimens 

 in the Yale Museum were collected before 1877, by J. M. Jones (No. 

 3176). One has been given to the U. S. Nat. Museum. They were 

 identified by Miss M. J. Rathbun.

A. No well-defined transverse groove near the distal margin of the carpus of 



the chelipeds. 

 B. Marginal teeth with front edge inclined forward ; ratio of length to breadth 



of cai-apace about 1:1.35 to 1:1.50 Her1>ntii

 coalesced tooth, nearly equal in height. Flanks of carapace not con- 

 vex Var. Herbstii 



c'. Last three marginal teeth unequal in breadth, not all divergent ; cusps of 



first and second unequal in height. Flanks usually convex.

convex, in a dorsal view. Front 4-lobed. Legs elongated.. Var. minax 



d'. Third tooth not greatly enlarged ; tip incurved or obtuse. Flanks
