134 Bulletin, Vande7'hilt Marine Museum, Vol. II 



The chelipeds are massive but less so than those of M. tnercenaria. 

 They are slightly unequal in both sexes of Carpilius corallinus; the 

 merus is stocky; the carpus nodular, convex, without a tooth at the 

 inner angle; the propodus is two-thirds as high as long, stocky; the 

 lower finger is stocky, with a molariform, sub-basal tooth, the finger 

 tip-pointed ; the hinged finger has a similar molar tooth but has its tip 

 more curved. 



The ambulatories are stocky, the meral joint the longest ; the carpus 

 and propodus short, subequal, the dactyl longer than the propodus, 

 slenderer, with an acuminate brown tip, longitudinally grooved on 

 each lateral face.
