STUDIES IN AUSTRALIAN CRUSTACEA — McCULLOCH. 343 



spiniform tubercles, which become squamifonn with crenulate 

 and hairy edges on the upper face. Fingers similar to the 

 hand ; they have black tips, and leave a narrow gap between 

 them when closed. Inner face of the hand swollen, with tufts 

 of bristles. 



Second and third legs reaching well beyond the chelipeds, 

 with long felted hairs along their upper and lower borders. 

 All the legs are alike, but the armature of the hinder pairs is 

 weaker than that of the front. Upper and lower borders of the 

 merus with some very indistinct tubercles, which are largest in 

 the third pair. Carpus with large spines above, and a very 

 deep sulcus behind which also extends on to the propodus and 

 dactylus. Anterior faces of the last two joints with broad 

 squamiform tubercles which have crenulate, hairy edges, like 

 those of the chelipeds ; both are rather longer than in P. 

 squamosus, and the dactylus is a little longer than the propodus. 

 It terminates in a black spine and there are some small ones on 

 the edges near the tip. 



Colour. — Whitish in spirits, the hairs pale brown. 



This species is very similar to P. squamosus but is charac- 

 terised by the large rounded bosses on each wrist. It has also 

 more slender legs and chelipeds than that species, and the eye- 

 stalks are longer. 



Type and Localities. — A male, with a carapace 11 mm. long, 

 from Watson Bay, Port Jackson. Another smaller specimen 

 from the same locality is also in the museum collection, while 

 Mr. J. Gabriel has also sent me three others which he dredged 

 in Port Phillip, Victoria.

The Trustees have received from Mr. C. T. Harrison a fine 

 large male of this species which he collected in the estuary of 

 the Derwent River, Tasmania. It is more than twice the size 

 of Whitelegge's specimens, the carapace being 115 mm. long, 

 which in the type is scarcely 5 mm. It differs from the type
