 anterolateral spines by narrow notches or incisions, are definitely 

 present. The palmar crest is typical, low and appearing lumpy.

Figure 55. — Aegla odebrechtii Miiller, male neotype: a, Dorsal view; b, lateral view of anterior 

 portion; c, sternum of third and fourth thoracic somites; d, inner ventral margin of ischium 

 of left cheliped; e, lateral view of second abdominal epimeron. a, b, natural size; c-e, 

 twice natural size. 



Carapace with gastric region quite convex. Rostrum relatively 

 short, not exceeding eyes by more than the length of the cornea, 

 fairly flat, broadly triangular, and appreciably widely grooved or 

 excavate either side of the well-marked median carina; distally the 

 carina tends to fade out before reaching the anterior extremity of 

 the rostrum ; on the carina are two rows of small, more or less alter- 

 nating, corneous scales fairly close together, so much so that close to 

 the distal end of the carina the two rows merge to form one irregular 

 row. 



Protogastric lobes not well marked, because of the very appreciable 

 convexity of the gastric region; epigastric prominences blunt swell- 

 ings.
