more compressed laterally on the carpus and propodus and has 

 no oblique groove on the former ; the fingers meet throughout their 

 length and have the tip rounded, inwardly hollowed, spoon-like, 

 with a few series of bristles inside and outside the tip. 



The second and third pairs of legs are similar, nearly equal 

 to each other, the second pair being slightly the longer and ex- 

 tending to only about midway the palm of the larger cheliped. 

 The joints of the ambulatories are smooth, except for the punctae, 

 laterally compressed ; the carpus with a small tooth at the upper 

 distal margin ; the dactyl with a small, circular depression on the 

 outer side near the proximal end ; the tip is a strong, curved, horny 

 claw ; there are numerous clusters of bristles along the lower sur- 

 face and also one or two thorny spinules. 



The fourth pair of legs is very slender, much reduced, reach- 

 ing only halfway the length of the merus of the third pair of legs 

 and being weakly subchelate. The fifth pair of legs is very slen- 

 der, weakly chelate. 



Colour: Although the present specimens have been three 

 years preserved in alcohol, they have the legs and eyestalks orange- 

 red, the distal portion of the chelipeds white, including the outer 

 half of the palm and fingers of the larger cheliped. The dactyli 

 of the second and third pairs of legs are white with a small red dot 

 on the proximal outer surface and are transversely banded sub- 

 distally with red ; the tips are horny, brownish black.
