A. E. Verrill Decapod Crustacea of Bermuda. 355 



purple and yellow ; hairs on the legs and carapace yellow ; under 

 parts and front of chela- white; dactyl and thumb dark horn-color 

 with pale tips. 



The areolations of the carapace and the transverse granulated 

 ruga- are even stronger than in the specimen just described, but 

 otherwise the same ; the marginal teeth are nearly the same, but a 

 trifle larger and more acute. They are much thickened vertically 

 at base and the posterior ones bend upward ; their edges and bases 

 are thickly covered with strong granulations which bear long hairs ; 

 the posterior tooth has a dorsal carina, granulated on its edge. The 

 transverse ridges of the carapace and especially of the front are 

 strongly granulated and bear long hairs* in life. The frontal edge is 

 convex, prominent, granulated, and divided by a narrow median 

 notch ; each lobe is slightly sinuous, with the smaller, faint, outer 

 lobe rounded at the external angle. The outer orbital tooth is prom- 

 inent and acute, but smaller than the next and well separated from 

 it by a wide concave notch. 



An excellent ? specimen in the collection of Prof. Kincaid (1903), 

 preserved with glycerine, is pale lemon-yellow with minute specks of 

 red-brown on the carapace and chelae ; larger blotches of the same 

 on the legs ; two brown hepatic patches ; a distal band of paler 

 yellow on the manus ; fingers smoky brown, pale at tips. The cara- 

 pace in life was covered with rather sparse hairs and small tufts of 

 longer ones ; the legs are hairy and with longer hairs on the front 

 edge. The areolation of the carapace is rather strong, with rather 

 numerous transverse ruga?. The carpus has a deep distal groove 

 and also a series of irregular oblique grooves and granulated broken 

 ridges. The chelae have a slight dorsal longitudinal groove and very 

 minute granules. (See fig. 5, &, pi. xvi.)

This appears to be a rather rare species at the Bermudas, or else 

 it has been generally overlooked by collectors. Nor is it common in 

 other regions.
