Diagnosis. — Antero-lateral regions lumpy; lateral teeth promi- 

 nent. No stridulating organ on inner side of palm. Black of fingers 

 not continued quite to palm and ending irregularly though not 

 obliquely. 



Description. — Surface covered with crowded depressed granules 

 and coarse punctae. Gastric region distinct and divided into five 

 subregions; on the epigastric regions there is a pair of lobules which 

 with a similar pair on the front form a quadrilateral, those of the 

 anterior pair further apart than those of the posterior. A low eleva- 

 tion nearly parallel with the curve of the antero-lateral border 

 crosses either branchial region; other shorter elevations cross the 

 hepatic and protogastric regions. The frontal margin consists of two 

 prominent, submedian, well-separated, arcuate lobes outside of each 

 of which are two smaller lobes forming an oblique line; the inner of 

 these small lobes is sometimes obliterated in the old. Inner angle 

 of orbit thick, obtusangled; outer angle thick, blunt; lower margin 

 forming two subequal lobes separated by a rounded sinus, the outer 

 lobe directly below the smaller outer supraorbital angle. Antero- 

 lateral border rather sharp and divided into four prominent lobes of 

 which the first two are broadly rounded, the last two dentiform, 

 obtuse, strongly projecting sideways; from the last one a ridge 

 extends obliquely inward on the carapace. 



Inner angle of wrist bluntly prominent. Legs with upper border 

 of carpus and both borders of propodus hairy; dactylus more thickly 

 hairy. 



Color. — Reddish; feet banded with red and yellowish; fingers 

 black. 



Measurements. — Male (59309), total length of carapace 49, width of 

 same 72, fronto-orbital wddth 25.8, width of front 14.7 mm. 



Range. — From Indian River, Florida and Gulf of Mexico to State 

 of Santa Catharina, Brazil. West Africa.
