Cyclograpsus Lavauxi, M.-Edw., Ann, Sci. Nat., 3meserie, xx., 

 p. 187 (1853); Miers, Cat. Crust. N.Z., p. 41, (1876). 



Cyclograpsus whitei, M.-Edw., Ann. Sci. IS T at., xx., p. 187 (1853). 



Cyclograpsus Ice vis, Hess, Archiv. fur Naturg., Band xxxi., p. 

 152 (1865). 



Very near C. AuJouinii, but with the tarsi longer and more 

 slender. Carapace and legs nearly smooth, with marbled spots.

Port Jackson. 



187. Cyclograpsus punctatus. 



Cyclograpsus punctatus, M.-Edw., Hist. Nat. des Crust., ii., p. 78. 



This species differs from the preceding in having the hepatic 

 and frontal regions closely punctated. The character derived by 

 Milne-Edwards from the shape of the penultimate segment of 

 the male is not constant some specimens having the lateral 

 borders regularly arched, others having them angulated. The 

 trenchant borders of the fingers are nearly straight, whereas in 

 the species here referred to C. lavauxi, there is a tolerably wide 

 space between them at their base when closed. 



N. coast of Tasmania. 



188. Cyclograpsus granulosus. 



Cyolograpsus granulosus, M.-Edw., Ann. Sci. Nat. (3e serie), t. 

 xviii., p. 197. 



Nearly allied to G. Aiulouinii, but having the hands and the 

 ambulatory legs strongly granulated, and the carapace more 

 convex. [M.-JE.~\ 



Tasmania. 



Genus Paragrafsus, M.-Edw. 



External maxillipedes gaping, and with the merus joint nearly 

 as broad as long, and longer than the ischium. Lateral borders 

 of the carapace lobulated or armed with teeth. Orbits and sub- 

 marginal grooves as in Cyclograpsus. Seventh segment of the 

 abdomen of the female short, transverse, and not received into 

 an excavation in the preceding joint. Legs as in Cyclograpsus. 

 [3L-K] 



This genus is scarcely distinct from Chasmagnathus.
