PILUMN1DAE. 57 



bent down, touching the basal joint of antenna. Eyes large ; orbital 

 notches obscure above, absent below outer angle. 



Palatal ridge present, but not strong. 



Chelipeds unequal, rough with sharp granules; lower surface of larger 

 hand almost smooth ; ringers spoon-shaped, rough at base, gaping, light- 

 colored. In the smaller specimen (Papeete) the outer face of the hand is 

 largely smooth. Legs almost smooth, sparsely hairy, meropodites slightly 

 spinulous above, dactyli with long slender point. 



Dimensions: — Fakarava, length 3.3, width 4.5 mm.; width of front 16 mm. 



I think that this is Dana's species, as the carapace appears smooth and 

 entire, but the hairs do not form the pattern shown in his figure.
