Anledning til Artsbenævnelsen ; naar den slaaes ind mod 

 Haanden, møder den med Spidsen den bagre Portsats. 



Farven er gulagtig, halv gjennemsigtig, og navnlig hos 

 Hunnen marmoreret med brunrødt Pigment. 



Længden af den ægbærende Hun er omtrent 6*".

 isfyldte Magdalenebay paa Nordvestsiden af Spitsbergen; 

 Dybden 10 — 20 Favne. Samme Art forekommer ogsaa af 

 og til ved .vore Kyster, navnlig ved Finmarken. Eiter

Artscharacteristic. Legemet forholdsvis robust, noget 

 nedtrykt, glat. Hovedet fortil stumpt koniskt, Øinene smaa, 

 ovalrunde, hvidgule. Følerne kraftigt udviklede, i den bagre 

 Kant tæt besatte med lange Børsteknipper; Iste Par af 

 mere end Legemets Længde, med Skaftets Iste Led saa 

 langt som Hovedet, 3die Led Lengere end 2det, Bisvøben 

 liden, 3-leddet. 2det Fodpar hos Hunnen af samme Ud- 

 seende som Iste, hos Hannen betydelig større, tæt haaret, 

 med særdeles stor og bred, sammentrykt Haand, der nedentil 

 gaar ud i 2 skraat fortilrettede dolkformige Fortsatser, den 

 bagerste storst og omtrent beliggende ved Midten af Han il-

Bemærkninger. Denne Art er let kjendelig fra de 

 tidligere beskrevne ved sin ualmindelig plumpe Kropsforni, 

 de forholdsvis rolmste og tæt haarede Folere og de smaa 

 hvidgule Øine. 



Beskrivelse af Hunnen. Legemet er (se Pl. XVIII, 

 Fig. 1) i Sammenligning med de øvrige bekjendte Arter af 

 Slægten usædvanlig plumpt, stærkt nedtrykt, med bred 

 hvælvet Ryg og uden Pigge eller Fortsatser. 



terminal claw is very powerful, and exhibits at the base 

 2 small protuberances. a character that gave rise to the 

 specific designation; when jerked in toward the hand, its 

 point conics in contact with the posterior prolation. 



Colour yellowish, semi-translueent, and. more especially 

 in the female, marbled over with a brownish-red pigment. 



Length of the ovigerous female about 6""". The male 

 is a trifie larger. viz. 7""'. 



Oeeurrence. — Two individuals of this species, a male 

 and a female, were tåken on the Expedition (last cruise) 

 in the ice-encumbered Magdalena Bay. north-west shore of 

 Spitzbergen; depth ranging from 10 to 20 fathoms. The 

 same species occurs too, now and again, off the coasts of 

 Norway, in particular the coast of Finmark. According to 

 Boeck, its habitat is known to range as far south as the 

 Ohristianiafjord.

Remarks. — This species is easily distinguishable from 

 those previously described by its remarkably clumsy form 

 of body, comparatively robust and densely hirsute antenna'. 

 and small whitish-yellow eves. 



Description of the Female. — The body (see Pl. 

 XVIII, fig. 1), as compared with the other known species 

 of the genus, is unusually clumsy in form. very much 

 depressed, the back broadly arehed, and without either 

 spikes or spiniform prolations.
