 40, pi. 4, figs. 6-12.— Benedict, 1901, p. 146, pi. 4, fig. 9. — Aleock 

 1905, p. 157. 



Recognition characters. — Carapace somewhat 

 hairy toward sides, and with scattered hairs on 

 anterior shield ; shield a little longer than broad ; 

 front with a thickened margin and a pointed 

 rostrum reaching well beyond broadly angular 

 lateral projections. Eyestalks long, slightly 

 dilated, but obliquely compressed at tips, a line 

 of hairs along dorsal side; eye scales acuminate, 

 a little rugose on internal border. Antennular 

 peduncles with about half of terminal article ex- 

 tending beyond eyestalks. Antennal peduncles ex- 

 tending to base of cornea or as little as three- 

 fourths length of eyestalks; acicles reaching 

 about to middle of eyestalks, spinose on internal 

 and external borders, tip often bifurcate. 



Chelipeds subequal, similar, upper surfaces 

 tuberculate and hairy; inner margin of hands, 

 carpi, and bases of dactyls with strong spines 

 corneous at tips; upper surfaces of carpi and meri 

 with a few spines and spiniform tubercles corne- 

 ous at tips. First walking legs with spiny crest 

 on carpi, propodi, and base of dactyls, crest ob- 

 solescent on second pair, both pairs hairy dor- 

 sally; dactyls curved, about as long as two pre 

 ceding articles together; dactyls of right side a 

 little weaker than left and laterally compressed; 

 proximal end of first left dactyl with cross section 

 in form of curvilinear triangle, broadly rounded 

 internal face serving as base and obtusely pointed

external face serving as apex; second left dactyl 

 a little stronger. 



Measurements. — Length of carapace: male, 11 

 mm. ; ovigerous female, 12 mm. 



Color. — Legs and anterior part of cephalo- 

 thorax tinted pink (Milne Edwards and Bouvier, 

 1893); eyestalks pink (Benedict, 1901). 



Habitat. — One specimen has been reported from 

 a shell of Murex (Milne Edwards and Bouvier, 

 1893) ; 6.5 to 82 fathoms. 



Type locality. — Barbados, 73 fathoms. 



Known range. — Off Oregon Inlet, N.C. (6.5 

 fathoms) ; Tortugas, Fla.; Barbados-; Trindad. 



Remarks.- — Ovigerous females have been taken 

 from Florida in August and October.
