every other respect his description agrees so well with the 

 numerous specimens in my possession that I have no doubt 

 of the identity of my species with his ; but the character does 

 not seem to me at all a conspicuous one, nor do I attach any 

 importance to it from a classificatory point of view. 



7. Eupagurus stewarti, Filhol. 



1885. Eupagurus stcioarti, Filhol, Miss, de I'ile Campbell, 

 p. 418, pi. h., fig. 3. 



Front of carapace with three angular projections, that in 

 the median line prominent. 



Ocular peduncles long ; eye a little enlarged transversely. 



Antennae long ; flagellum covered with fine long hairs. 



Eight chelipede rather strongly developed ; upper face of 

 earpos almost flat, inner edge toothed and spinous, outer 

 granular, the whole surface bearing a few scattered slightly 

 elongated hairs ; propodos almost quadrilateral, and very dif- 

 ferent from that of any other New Zealand species, its upper 

 and lower margins slightly toothed and whole upper surface 

 granular, and bearing a few hairs ; dactylos evenly crenulated 

 and hairy along the upper margin, which is much extended, 

 and bent sharply at its anterior rounded extremity. 



Left chelipede with the earpos triangular, and furnished 

 on the anterior two-thirds of its upper margin with somewhat 

 strong spines. 



Abdomen without plates. 



Size : Length of the body (in the male), 20 mm. ; breadth 

 of the carapace, 4 mm. 



Distribution. — New Zealand. 



Habitat. — Stewart Island {Filhol). 



I do not know this species. 



8. Eupagurus rubricatus, Henderson. 



1888. Eupagurus rubricatus, Henderson, Eep. Anom. Chall. 

 Exped., p. 69, pi. vii., fig. 4. 



Front of carapace smooth, frontal projections scarcely 

 indicated, median obtusely rounded. 



Ocular peduncles rather stout, with the corneas dilated ; 

 basal scales with the terminal portion slender and acuminate. 



Antennules with the distal end of the second joint of the 

 peduncle not reaching the end of the eye-stalk. 



Antennae have the peduncle slightly exceeding the eye- 

 stalk ; acicle reaching nearly to the end of the peduncle, basal 

 joint with a minute spine on its inner margin, outer prolonga- 

 tion spinulous, and r-eaching as far as distal end of the 

 penultimate joint. 



Chelipedes unequal, and of moderate size.
