This species was found in the northern portion of New 

 Zealand by Quoy and Gaimard, but was unknown to Miers, 

 who gives a very brief diagnosis of it from Milne-Edwards. 



Filhol {I.e.) has given a good representation of this species 

 from the original specimens, and has given the following de- 

 scription of it : "This species is very remarkable on account 

 of its general colour, which is a blood-red, dotted over with a 

 great number of little white spots. The front is angular in 

 its anterior portion, and the front border of the carapace hides 

 the ophthalmic segment. The outer antennae are long and 

 naked ; the portion of the joint supporting them and corre- 

 sponding to the palp is feebly developed, and covered with 

 hairs on its outer margin. The arms are small and equal. 

 The carpos is much reduced, and presents a somewhat strong 

 spine at the anterior extremity of its upper margin. The 

 hand is furnished with spines on the whole of its upper edge 

 and along the whole extent of its outer face. Ail these very 

 acute prominences are of a white colour, and they give inser- 

 tion at their base to some hairs of a reddish colour. The 

 ambulatory feet are not spinous, and they are covered with 

 hairs inserted in little bunches on the white spots. The 

 dimensions are — Length, 20 mm.; breadth, 5 mm." Filhol 

 does not seem to have collected this species, nor have I heard, 

 that any one else has seen it in New Zealand. 



2. Clibanarius barbatus, Heller. 

 Miers, Cat. N.Z. Crust, p. 67. 



This species occurs in the British Museum, apparently 

 from Auckland, and was found in that locality by Heller. I 

 have not seen it, nor does it appear to have been collected by 

 any one else since Heller's time. 



In the report on the " Challenger" Anornura, Henderson, 

 speaking of Paguristes snbpilosus, says (p. 78), " A New Zea- 

 land species of Clibanarius — the C. barbatus of Heller — 

 apparently presents many poinrs of resemblance, but the 

 dactyli of the ambulatory limbs are described as scarcely 

 shorter than the corresponding propodi." It is to be regretted 

 that he did not compare the specimens which, according to 

 Miers, occur in the British Museum. 



Genus 2. Eupagurus, Brandt. 

 Front usually slightly rostrate. Ocular peduncles slender, 

 with small basal scales. Antennal acicle elongated and
