52 ON AUSTRALIAN LEUCOSIIDiE, 



Sp. 5. Myra Damleyensis, sp. nov. (Plate 5, fig. 4). Testa 

 ovato-globosa ; fronte psene integro, lobis obscuris ; spinis posticis 

 latis, compressis ; digitis manui longitudine super antibus. 



Carapace granular, non-carinated ; a large tubercle on each 

 hepatic ridge, The front deeply grooved mesially, obscurely 

 four-lobed. The posterior spines large, broad, compressed, sub- 

 triangular — the middle one slightly larger than the others. 

 Maxillipedes and sternum covered with minute granulations. 

 Fingers slightly exceeding the hand in length, striated 

 longitudinally, meeting by the whole length of their inner edges, 

 which are minutely toothed. Ambulatory limbs slender. 

 Abdomen (male) sparsely granulated ; with a small tubercle on 

 the penultimate segment. 



A few ill-defined light yellow marks on the carapace ; two light 

 red bands on the upper surface of the arm ; and one of the same 

 colour on the distal surface of the hand. 



Length 7 lines ; breadth 6 lines. 



Sab. Darnley Id. (Chevert Expecl.). 



Genus III. — Myrodes, Bell. 



Sp. 1. Myrodes gigas, sp. nov. (Plate 5, Pig. 5). Testa 

 ovato-globosa, valde convexa, postice acuminata ; abdomine maris 

 dente magno armato. 



Bell's generic description applies to the specimens now under 

 consideration, (except that the antennary fossoe are oblique not 

 almost longitudinal ) ; but they differ from the figure given by Bell 

 of Myrodes eudactyJus from the Philippines, — hitherto the only 

 known species of the genus — in the greater depth of the carapace, 

 which is also more pointed posteriorly and has only the rudiment 

 of a carina, in the absence of any border on the inner aspect 

 of the hand, which is much dilated and rounded, and in the greater 

 length of the terminal hooks of the fingers. Abdomen of male 

 with a few granules at its proximal end, and a strong, blunt, 

 antero-posteriorly flattened tooth on the penultimate segment.
