pearly tubercles. The entire dorsal surface of the carpus and propodus 

 are each short, nearly as wide as long, with their upper and outer sur- 

 faces rough with deep corrugations formed of large concave pits 

 margined by a rim of pearly granules ; the dactyl is strong, but much 

 slenderer than the propodus and about one-third longer, with its 

 lateral margins roughly granulose and beset with setae and its tip a 

 horny curved claw.
