ynii^ i , from Bermuda, about ^ nat. size. 



A younji' specimen (Xo. 4058, lig. 40) in life had bright colors : 

 the carapace was bright reddish brown, varied with paler patcnes ; 

 the spines and tubercles were light brown ; chela- pink with fine 

 black spots ; legs red, banded with pale yellow ; ventral parts pale 

 blue and bluish white. (C. S. V.) 



In large individuals the gastric area is prominent, wide, with 

 convex sides and defined by a wide and deep groove ; the groove 

 bounding the cardiac area is Avide, but shallower. 



Our larger Bermuda specimen has many unequal conical spines 

 and tubercles on the surface, but between them the surface is smooth
