■y, Anterior tooth or tubercle of the anterior moiety of the sub- 



dorsal carapacial crest not very large, not much larger 



than the posterior rostral spines. 



g^ Posterior moiety of 3 rd or dorso-lateral crest ending anteriorly 



in a sharp spine or tooth. 



The two parts into which the anterior moiety of the 4 ,h or 



lateral crest is divided, are both produced into acute spines spinicauda A. M.-Edw. - 

 (A. Milne-Edwards, 1. c, 1881, p. 3 and 1. c, 1883, Plate 39, figs. 1, ia.) 



g % Posterior moiety of 3 rd or dorso-lateral crest obtuse anteriorly. 



//, Distance of the anterior tubercle of the 2 nd or subdorsal 



crest from its fellow about twice as long as the distance, 



measured in the middle line, between the line uniting 



these two tubercles and the line uniting the two rostral 



spines of the posterior pair Siöogae de Man 



//., Distance of the anterior tubercle of the 2 nd or subdorsal 

 crest from its fellow about three times as long as the 

 distance, measured in the middle line, between the line 

 unitingf these two tubercles and the line uniting the two 

 rostral spines of the posterior pair. 

 Of the two parts into which the anterior moiety of the 

 4 ,h or lateral crest is divided, the part in front of the 

 notch is produced anteriorly to form a spine, while the 

 part behind the notch merely forms a projecting angle 

 or shoulder.
