 22.4 centimeters long, was taken in 2 fathoms, low tide, Kaneohe 

 Bay, Oahu, Hawaiian Islands, by the "Ara," December 18, 1928. 



Discussion : For full discussion of this species, consult Lee 

 Boone, Bulletins of the Vanderbilt Marine Museum, Vol. II, p. 29,

This Hawaiian specimen conforms in all essentials with the 

 earlier described examples of the species. The Oahu specimen is 

 somewhat longer and has the telson margin much eroded. The 

 characteristic black colour bands are very distinct. There are no 

 small denticles present on the posterior margins of the posterior 

 two pretelsonic somites. There are nine teeth present on each 

 retrochela. 



Length : 22.4 centimeters measured from the apex of rostrum 

 to posterior margin of telson.
