i86 



spiniventris of a conical tubercle between the last spine of the dorsal ridge and the posterior 

 margin of the carapace: in the present female a small subacute tubercle occurs just in front 

 of the posterior margin, while it is one millimeter distant from the last spine. In Alcock's 

 description of 1901 this character has rightly no more been mentioned. The three posterior 

 legs appear a little shorter than in that description. The 5" 1 pair, indeed, nearly reach the tip 

 of the antennal scale, but do not extend beyond it; the 4 th pair reach only to the base of the 

 terminal spine of the scale and the legs of the 3 vd pair are hardly shorter. 



The depth, 918 meter = 500 fathoms, at which this female was taken, is the same as 

 that of the type specimen. 



The colour of this specimen, preserved in alcohol, is yellow-whitish. 



General distribution: Andaman Sea, 7 1 /.-, miles east of N. Cinque Island.
