Alcoholic specimens are light olive brown above and on the chelipeds. 

 The fingers are black, lighter at the tips, and the black not spreading 

 upon the palm. 



Several specimens give the following measurements : 



Sox. Length of carapax. Breadth of carapax. Ratio. 



Male. 15-Omni 22-5mm 1 : I'oO 



" 15-9 23-6 1 : 1-49 



Female. 9-6 14-4 1 : 1-50 



" 12-6 18-8 1: 1-49 



Seven specimens were collected by Prof. Hartt at the Reefs of the 

 Abrolhos, 



This species is very distinct from all other described species of the 

 gemis. Its broad and deeply areolated carapax give it somewhat the 

 aspect of a Chlorodms.

A large number of specimens are in the collection, all of them ob-

 from southern Florida to Rio de Janeiro.
