28 CRUSTACEA MALACOSTRACA II. 



The chelae (fig. 5 e) are somewhat less than three times as long as broad, with the posterior 

 margin very moderately concave, shaped in the main as in the female, but the fingers are conspi- 

 cuously shorter in proportion to the hand; the movable finger is thicker and the fixed finger near 

 the base less thick than in the male P. forcipatus. 



The thoracic legs as in the male P. forcipatus conspicuously more slender than in the female 

 and as in that species showing other differences, bnt besides affording specific characters. Second 

 pair (fig. 5 c) with seventh joint plus claw more than half as long again as sixth joint. Third and 

 fourth pairs with the short spur rather slender, while seventh joint with claw is as long as sixth 

 joint. Three posterior pairs of legs (figs. 5 e and 5 f) with the spur short and rather slender; seventh 

 joint with claw only a little shorter than sixth joint, and the claw itself only half as long as 

 seventh joint. 



The five anterior abdominal segments, seen from above (fig. 5 d), with the lateral margins of 

 each segment very convex, so that the entire lateral margin of this part of the abdomen has five 

 deep incisions, while in the male P. forcipatus this margin shows no such incisions. Sixth segment 

 posteriorly .somewhat produced, but much less than in P. forcipatus, and has at the middle of the 

 hind margin a somewhat small, angular emargination. — The highly developed pleopods with some 

 of the setse more than twice as long the rami. — The uropods in the main similar to those in the 

 female, but the rami a little longer. 



Length of the single male 1.8 mm .
