NO. 2135. NEW PHILIPPINE CRABS— RATHBUN. 539 



Relationship. — In general appearance resembles P. inlnor Ort- 

 mann/ from Japanese waters, but there is no cardiac spine, a much 

 smaller hepatic spine, and less prominent orbits. 



PUGETTIA LEYTENSIS. ntw species. 



Type-locality. — Between Leyte and Cebu: Capitancillo Island 

 Lio-ht, S. 40° W., 15.7 miles; lat. 11° 10' N.; long. 1-2^° 17' 15" E.; 

 182 fathoms; gn. M.; temperature, 55.7° F.; Mar. 16, 1909; station 

 5403, Alhati'oss. 



Ilolotype.—Oyigerous female. Cat. No. 48209, U.S.N.M. 



Measurements. — Length of carapace on median line, spines ex- 

 cluded, 19.3 ; length of horns, 4.8 ; width of carapace, spines excluded, 

 13.2; width, spines included, 16. 



Carapace with six spines: one stout, blunt, at summit of conical 

 cardiac area; one short, erect, on posterior margin; one long, sub- 

 cylindrical, pointing outward and a little forward and upward, on 

 each hepatic region ; and one shorter, stouter, more conical, directed 

 outward and a little upward, on the branchial region. Rostral horns 

 very divergent, making an angle of about 70° and curved outward. 

 Preorbital lobe bluntly toothed anteriorly; postocular cup bluntly 

 pointed in dorsal view. Surface covered with a very short, dense, 

 circular pubescence, with lines of long hair on the gastric region and 

 on the lateral margin between the spines. 



The basal segment of tlie antenna has a blunt tooth at the antero- 

 external angle, but no tooth or tubercle on the external margin. 

 Chelipeds as long as carapace minus rostrum; merus with a distal 

 spine and a spine at proximal third of upper margin, and two 

 tubercles on lower outer margin; carpus with obtuse ridge ending 

 behind in a tubercle; fingers narroAvly gaping. The merus of the 

 ambulatory legs has a few tufts of hair, the carpus is enlarged 

 distally. 



The long, cylindrical, hepatic spine sufficiently distinguishes this 

 species from all others of the genus.
