exopod extending slightly beyond ischiomeral articulation. All 

 pereiopods unusually long and slender. Chela without prominent, 

 swollen protuberance on outer surface at base of fingers. Fii'st pleopod 

 of adult male armed distally with scattered, short, stout spines; 

 elongate lobe directed posteriorly in situ. A medium-sized species, 

 carapace length in midline about 25 mm. 



Habitat. — Presumably in or near fresh water. 



Distribution. — Known only from the type-locality in Provincia 

 de Pinar del Rio, Cuba.

Opislhocera Gilmann Smith, 1870, p. 149, pi. 5: figs. 1-ld [type-locality: small 



stream near center of Isia de Pines]. 

 Epilobocera gilmanii. — Rathbun, 1898, pp. 529, 531, 536. 

 Epilobocera Gilmanii. — Rathbim, 1905, p. 314, pi. 18 (XVI): figs. 2, 5. 



Diagnosis. — Carapace strongly convex longitudinally and trans- 

 versely, about two-thirds as long as Avide; cervical groove nearly 

 obliterated, almost straight or very slightly sinuous; anterolateral 

 margin slightly and obtusely denticulate anteriorly, entire posteriorly, 

 without notch at end of cervical groove, broadly indented near outer 

 orbital angle; front curving downward very gradually, not delimited 

 dorsally by transverse crest. Third maxilliped with merus broad, 

 distolateral margin regularly convex; exopod extending beyond 

 ischiomeral articulation. Pereiopods not unusually long or slender. 

 Chela without prominent, swollen protuberance on outer surface at 

 base of fingers. A medium-sized species, carapace length in midline 

 about 40 mm. 



Habitat. — Fresh-water stream. 



Distribution. — Known only from the unique male holotype from 

 Isla de Pinos. 



46. Epilobocera granulata Rathbun 



Epilobocera granulata Rathbun, 1893, p. 659, pi. 77: fig. 6 [type-locality: "West 

 Indies."]; 1905, p. 317, pi. 18 (XVI): fig. 9. 



Diagnosis. — Carapace rather flat and broad, less than three-fifths 

 as long as wide; cervical groove distinct, slightly concave anteriorly 

 near midlength; anterolateral margin grossly denticulate anteriorly, 

 not obviously notched at end of cervical groove or near outer orbital 

 angle; front delimited dorsally by strong, tuberculate, transverse 

 crest, but most of true margin visible beyond it. Thu'd maxilliped with 

 merus broad, distolateral margin regularly convex; exopod extending 

 beyond ischiomeral articulation. Pereiopods not unusually long. 

 Chela Mdthout prominent, swollen protuberance on outer surface at 

 base of fingers. Probably a medium-sized to large species.
