Milne Edwards, 110 doubt accidentally, transposes his references 

 to Riippell's hirsutissimus and asper. Targioni Tozzetti, 1877, 

 studies the genus elaborately under the name Actea. 



Two specimens of this extremely hirsute species were obtained 

 by Mr. Keppel Barnard at Mozambique. The carapace of the 

 larger is 18 mm. broad and the fingers of the clielipeds are black. 

 In the smaller specimen, with carapace about 9 mm. broad, the 

 fingers of the chelipeds are quite pale. A 2207.

GALENE NATALENSIS, Krauss, 1843. 



Specimens which I refer to this species were obtained by Mr. 

 Barnard at Delagoa Bay. No one of the authorities which I have 

 been able to consult explains why Galene should be displaced by the 

 much later Eurycarcinus. A 2117. 



MAXILLOTHEIX, gen. nov. 



Inter-orbital front undivided, obtuse-angled. Pleon of both sexes 

 broad, telson much broader than long. Second antenna with rather 

 long flagellum. Vibratory lamina of second maxilla carrying elongate 

 setae. Fourth joint of second maxilliped long and tapering, sixth 

 larger than either fifth or seventh. Third maxilliped having the broad 

 fourth joint not much shorter than the third, with the fifth attached 

 to its antero-iuterior angle, the sixth joint much smaller than either 

 the fifth or seventh. 



The generic name, a hybrid, from maxilla and #oi, refers, as above 

 mentioned, to an unusual feature in the second maxillae.
