Right chelipede with a single spine on the distal end of the 

 upper border ; carpos with a number of conical spines scat- 

 tered over the inner half of the pubescent upper surface ; 

 propodos much broader than, and nearly twice as long as, 

 the carpos, upper surface covered with a matted pubescence, 

 among which are scattered white rounded tubercles, especially 

 on an irregular central elevation, inner and outer margins 

 fringed with long hairs and a row of blunt spines ; dactylos 

 with several rows of rounded tubercles. 



Left chelipede with a double row of spines on the upper 

 surface of the carpos ; propodos placed at an angle to the 

 carpos, outer border strongly convex, armed with strong 

 spines, surface pubescent and tubercled as in the right cheli- 

 pede ; dactylos densely pubescent on the upper surface, ending 

 in a minute horny claw. 



Ambulatory legs with the carpi moderately spiny in front, 

 dactyli longer than the propodi, each ending in a yellow 

 horny claw, borders fringed with delicate horny spines, espe- 

 cially towards the apex. 



Size: Length of carapace, 13mm.; length of right cheli- 

 pede, 28 mm. ; length of left chelipede, 21 mm. ; length of 

 3rd leg, 36 mm. ; length of ocular peduncle, 5-8 mm.

Miers characterizes this species as having the front of the 

 carapace without a median projection, the flagella of the 

 antennae with series of three and five joints alternately 

 annulated with red and white, the chelipedes clothed with 

 short dense hair, with the carpos and propodos spinulous. 



Right chelipede with a series of larger spines on the 

 upper inner margin of the carpos ; propodos with the spinules 

 arranged in two longitudinal lines. 



Ambulatory legs hairy, hairs more dense on the dactyli, 

 which are longer than the propodi ; propodi of second pair 

 with a row of spinules on the upper margin. 



I have never met with this species, nor does Filhol appear 

 to have come across it.
