a smaller branch diverges toward the lateral region. There is a 

 transverse interrupted band of setae anterior to the posterior mar- 

 gin of the carapace. 



On the second to sixth abdominal segments, inclusive, this 

 marbled pattern of setae is also present as interrupted transverse 

 patches on the second segment, and two such patches on the third, 

 fourth and fifth segments and one long submedian area on the 

 sixth segment, which on the telson is replaced by a subsimilar 

 pattern. 



Size: The smallest specimen of the New Caledonia series 

 measures 90 millimeters from the tip of the rostrum to the tip of 

 the telson ; the largest of the series measures 125 millimeters in 

 the same line.
