156 AUSTRALIAN MALACOSTEACA. 



Allied to P. deformis, but distinguished by the hand of the 

 larger chelipede being somewhat more closely granulated between 

 the larger tubercles, which, as in P. deformis, are disposed in 

 longitudinal series on the upper and outer surface of the palm ; 

 the mobile finger is granulated but not carinated on its upper 

 and outer surface, the granules being disposed in longitudinal 

 series ; the penultimate joint of the third left leg is smooth, not 

 carinated as in P. deformis; the terminal joint, however, is nearly 

 of the same form as in that species. \_Miers.']
