between them is straight and not at all as shown in the fijjfuie of Jf. 

 sjjlnosa. The chelipeds are long- and rather slender, armed with slen- 

 der spines placed for the most part in rows; there are about eighteen 

 spines on the merus, large and small; the carpus has at least an equal 

 number; there are four rows of spines on the palm; the lingers of the 

 left hand are unarmed; those of the right are both armed. 



The secf)nd segment of the a])domon is armed with six spines, which 

 nearly equal the gastric pair in size; the other segments of the abdomen 

 are smooth.

This species is closely related to Mnnlda sj)mosa Henderson. It is 

 separated by the lines of the carapace, which are not so strong, by 

 the different shape of the pleura of the abdominal segments, and if 

 the Challenger figure is correct, the merus of the inaxillipeds is very 

 different. «
