MUNIDOPSIS GILLI, new species. 



The rostrum projects forward and ends in two horizontal points and 

 a sharply upturned rostral point, as in Galicantha. The portion of the 

 front behind the rostrum is unarmed. The lateral margins are very 

 uneven. A lobe bearing a small spine marks the antero-lateral angles; 

 behind the angle is a lobe with two points, followed l\v a sinus, then 

 another short spine or point. There are eight or more small tubercu- 

 lar granules on the posterior border and numerous similar granules 

 scattered over the carapace and legs The different areolations are 

 protuberant; the gastric area is surmounted by three spines, placed 

 at the points of an equilateral triangle; there are two short spines on 

 the cardiac area. The merus of the maxillipeds is armed with three 

 spines; the first is very stout at the base, the second is slender, the 

 third is short.
