mark and with three distinct reddish spots — one on the posterior 

 border, one in the middle line, and one on the lateral angle. 

 Pectinal teeth 5. 



Measurements in mm. — Total length 45, carapace 6 - 3, tail 25, 

 brachium 6*2, underhand 6, movable finger 5-6, width of band 4. 



Loc. Dharmsiila in the Western Himalayas (Falton).

Colour of c? and 5 tolerably uniform brown, the legs paler; 

 not so dark as in C. anihracinus and not variegated as in C. granosus. 

 .Male differing from that of C. anihracinus in having the upper side 

 of the abdomen almost smooth, at most very finely granular, with 

 a row of coarser granules along the posterior border whereon the 

 two tubercles are very prominent ; the granules on the anterior 

 half of the frontal area of the carapace not so coarse. Tail rather 

 more than four times as long as carapace ; width of 1st segment 

 about equal to length of 4th, 2nd a little wider than long : inferior 

 median keels on 2nd granular. Chela' much like those of C. an- 

 ihracinus, the hand a little narrower as compared with its length 

 {cf. measurements). 



2 . Resembling § of C. granosus in granulation of terga, but 

 with the granules not extending to the lateral borders as they do 

 almost invariably in that species ; differing from the latter and 

 from 5 0I C- anihracinus in having the frontal area of the cara- 

 pace granular behind as well as in front, sometimes evenly but 

 sparsely granular throughout, at others more coarsely granular 

 in front. Band of very much the same shape and size as in 

 C. anihracinus. Pectinal teeth 5 in J , 3-4 in § . 



Measurements in mm. — £ ■ Total length 50, carapace 6*5, tail 26, 

 brachium 5*5, underhand 5*5, movable finger 0, width of hand 4-9. 



6 . Total length 53, carapace 7, tail 30, brachium 7*2, under- 

 hand 7, movable finger 7, width of hand 4*5. 



Loc. India: Kasauli, near Simla {'Waller Barrow).

<5 . Colour (dry specimen) apparently as in ('. margaritatus. 

 Carapace with the same distribution of granules as in the pre- 

 ceding two species, but the granulation less distinct. Terga not 

 coarsely or closely but only very finely granular under the lens, the 

 lateral keels marked by a large tubercle. TYuilmucb. longer than in 

 male of C. margaritatus and C. anthracinus, more than lour times 

 the length of carapace; width of 1st segment considerably less than 

 length of 4th, 2nd segment longer than wide: apper side practically 

 smooth, lateral surface much less granular than in C. margaritatus; 

 inferior median keels of 1st standing up as distinct, though only 

 obsoletely granular crests. Chela granular and Keeled as in 

 ( '. margae'i tains, very long: humerus longer than carapace, more 

 than twice as long as wide, but shorter than brachium and under-
