 56, fig. 2-26 (type-locality, Chile (?); type in Paris Mus.). 



Diagnosis. — Carapace covered with single granules, coarser in 

 front half. Frontal lobes (between antennae) undivided, smooth and 

 convex, edge arcuate. Tubercles of proximal row on wrist longi- 

 tudinally elongate. Male abdominal appendages of first pair stout. 



Description. — Carapace narrower and flatter than in the two pre- 

 ceding species; front less deflexed. Regions well 

 defined, the hepatic plainly circumscribed. 

 Dorsal surface all over granulate, the granules 

 coarser on the gastric, hepatic, and anterior half 

 of branchial region; scattered tufts of hair. 

 Antero-lateral border armed with five small, 

 spiniform teeth (not counting orbital angle). 

 Median emargination of front acutely pointed; 

 lobe on either side smooth, surface convex, edge 

 entire. The so-called outer lobe of the front 

 really represents the inner supra-orbital angle; figuee ss.— eriphia geanu- 

 it is lobiform, smooth, and bent down to the ^°'*' ^'^^^ (25G67) abdom-

smaller inferior orbital lobe; upper border finel}'" 



granulate, a spine at outer angle; lower margin smooth. Jugal region 



smooth below inner orbital suture. 



Carpus and manus of chelipeds covered with large rounded tuber- 

 cles, each with a marginal fringe of short hair; on the carpus the 

 tubercles are arranged in transverse rows, those of each row confluent 

 proximally; on the row nearest the manus the tubercles are almost 

 obliterated and form a scalloped edge. The tubercles of the manus 

 are round or approximately so, except the row bordering the carpus
