palm is dilated, globose inferiorly, about as wide as long at the 

 base of the fingers ; the outer surface of the palm is flattish, cov- 

 ered with a series of coarse, conical spines, each of which is white 

 with a black tip and has a tuft of long setae at the base; these 

 spines and setae are continued on the fingers, the spines decreas- 

 ing in length toward the finger-tips, which are black, corneous, 

 hollowed, the inner cavity filled with a tuft of setae ; there is a very 

 narrow gape between the bases of the closed fingers. 



The second pair of ambulatory legs is the longest of the series, 

 having the right and left legs of the pair subequal, each exceed- 

 ing the length of the chelipeds by the distal third of the propodus 

 and the entire dactylus; their surfaces are smooth, except for 

 punctae, and they are beset with tufts of golden bristles, which 

 are most abundant on the dorsal and ventral margins, especially 

 so on the dactyli. The dactyli are only two-thirds as long as the 

 related propodi, which are all subcylindrical ; the dactyli have 

 strong, curved, hook-like black tips. 



The third pair of legs are unequal, the right one being the 

 longer and extending three-fourths the length of the dactyl of 

 the adjacent second leg, while the left third leg is only as long as 

 the chelipeds, or extends almost to the base of the dactyl of the 

 second left leg. The propodus of the left third leg has the outer 

 surface decidedly flattened and thickly hirsute. 



The fourth pair of legs are subchelate and the fifth pair are 

 weakly chelate.
