BRACHYURA. RATHBUN. 95 



REPORT ON THE BRACHYRHYNCHA, 

 OXYSTOMATA AND DROMIACEA. 



THIS report includes all the bracliyuran crabs of the 

 "Endeavour" collection other than the Oxyrhyncha or 

 spider crabs, which were enumerated in Vol. V., part 1, 

 1918, with one exception here noted. There are sixty-one 

 species listed below, and fourteen of these are new. There 

 are also, among the species previously known, several which 

 are additional to the Australian fauna: Pinnotheres 

 novcezelandice, Pilumnoplax heterochir, Liagore rubromacu- 

 lata, Chlorodopsis pilumnoides, Pilumnus spongiosus, 

 Acanthodes arm at us, Charybdis natator, C. truncata, 

 Myra fngax, Calappa Jophos and Dromidiopsis edwardsi. 

 The most noteworthy is Acanthodes armatus, which, 

 although described by de Haan in 1835, has been found 

 rarely, and then only in Japanese waters. 



I am indebted to Mr. Allan R. McCulloch for allowing me 

 to introduce some of his notes, made several years ago, and 

 for making it possible to examine several Australian 

 Pilumnus not in the "Endeavour" collection.
