Remarks. — These specimens agree well with Kemp's account of 

 the species. There is some variation in the amount of pitting on the 

 dorsal bosses of the telson; Serene (1947) also commented on this 

 variation. 



The body is covered with light brown chromatophores aggregated 

 in bands; darker bands or spots are present on the anterior and 

 posterior third of the carapace and on the sixth and seventh thoracic 

 and first abdominal somites. There is a characteristic dark spot 

 laterally on the sixth thoracic somite. 



Distribution. — Indo-West Pacific, from scattered localities be- 

 tween the eastern Indian Ocean and the Philippines. Shallow water.
