AUSTRALIAN MALACOSTRACA. 83 



This species is allied to C. Icevis, A. Milne-Edwards, but differs 

 from it in having only four teeth on each lateral border ; from 

 C. rotund if rons, of the same author, it differs in having the front 

 dentate, and from C. poiita, Heller, in not having a ridge on the 

 gastric region, besides other points. 



Genus Lissocarcinus, White. 

 Carapace sub- orbicular, smooth, sub-porcellanous. Front pro- 

 duced. Basal joint of the antenna? short, the following joint 

 scarcely remote from the orbit. Legs naked ; the anterior pair 

 short, the arm scarcely reaching beyond the carapace ; hand very 

 short.

 smooth on the upper surface ; a strong line extending from the 

 antero-lateral angle across the carapace towards the middle line. 

 Front lamellar, produced, obscurely emarginate, its sides straight. 

 Antero-lateral margins with four well-marked teeth behind the

Grenus Amphitrite, De Haan. 

 Carapace rather narrow, the frontal and antero-lateral margins 

 meeting at an angle which is usually spiniform, the antero-lateral 

 rarely shorter than the postero-lateral. Flagellum of antenna* 

 not exclnded from the orbit ; basal joint thick, scarcely narrower 

 than the orbital hiatus.
