 Cambarus maniculatus, Faxon, Proc. Amer. Acad. Arts and Sci., XX. 137, ISSi. (After Le Conte. No 

 description.) 



This species is known only from the description of Le Conte, which is 

 quoted in full on page 52 of Hagen's Monograph. The description was 

 perhaps drawn up from an immature specimen of C troglodytes. The num- 

 ber of hooked thor.acic legs in the male is not specified in Le Conte's descrip- 

 tion, but the species is probably one of the C Blandingii group, since it is 

 placed among the species of that group in Le Conte's list,

Resembles C. Blandingii and G. pdka-, but is easily distinguished from 

 these by the shortness of the portion of the carapace behind the cervical 

 groove, the greater length of the acumen of the rostrum, antennal scale, and 

 chelae, and the shape of the male sexual appendages. The areola is some- 

 what wider. The I'ostrum is deeply excavated above, the sides converging 

 but slightly up to the lateral teeth, which are separated by more than one 

 half of the width of the base of the rostrum. The proximal segment of the 

 telson is armed on each side of its distal margin with three or four teeth. 



The proportions may be seen from the following measurements of a male, 

 form I. : Length of body, 86 mm. ; of carapace, 43 mm. ; of abdomen, 48 mm. 

 From tip of rostrum to cervical groove, 31 mm.; from cervical groove to 

 posterior border of carapace, 12 mm. Length of rostrum, 14 mm. ; of acu- 

 men, 5 mm. Breadth of rostrum at base, 7 mm. ; at lateral spines, 4 mm. 

 Breadth of areola, 2\ mm. Length of chela, 40 mm. ; breadth, 8 mm. 



Smaller specimens are more characteristic on account of a greater propor- 

 tional breadth of the areola and shortness of posterior portion of the carapace. 

 In a male, form IL, 65 mm. in length, the length of the carapace from the 

 tip of rostrum to cervical groove is 24 mm. ; from cervical groove to poste- 

 rior border of carapace, 8.5 mm. Breadth of areola, 2 mm.
