TO INDIAN CARCINOLOGY. 301 



Tuticorin, a male {Thurston). 



The colour is at first very vivid, but the lines on the carapace soon i'ade in spirit. 

 The carapace is 11-5 mm. long and 15-5 mm. broad. Milne-Edwards's type-specimen was 

 slightly larger. 



Distrlbntion. New Caledonia, Lifu, Torres Strait, Arafura Sea. 



Genus Lophozozymus, A. Milne-Edwards. 



65. LopuozozYMUS DouoNE (Herbst).

{ = Xantho radiatus, Milne-Edwards, AlergatLs lateralis, White, Ateryatis degans. Heller). 



Tvxticorin, a series ; Muttuwartu Par {Thurston) ; Rameswaram {J. B. H.). 

 I have examined the types of Atergatis lateralis. White, from ^Mauritius, and find that 

 they are identical witli this species, as more than one writer had already suspected. 

 Distribution. East Africa, Mauritius, Malay Archipelago, New Caledonia. 



66. Lophozozymus cristatus, A. Milne-Edw. 



L. cristatus, A. Mihie-Edwarrls, Nonv. Arch. Mus. Hist. Nat. t. ix. p. 203, pi. vi. fig. 4 (1873). 



Muttuwartu Par, three specimens {Thurston). 



These are probably young, the largest measuring only l-3'5 mm. in length and 22 mm. 

 in breadth. Immersion in spirit has completely removed all trace of the vivid colour 

 shown in Milne-Edwards's figure. 



Distribution. New Caledonia {A. Milne-Edwards). 



Genus Chlokoditjs, Rtippell. 



67. Chlorodius niger (Forskal). 



C. niger (Forsk.), Do Man, Mergui Crust, p. 32 (1887). 



Tuticorin, many specimens ; Muttuwartu Par {Thurston); Rameswaram, one of the 

 commonest species on the reef {J. B. S.). 



Distribution. From the Red Sea and East Africa to Australia and the Pacific. 



Genus CuLOitODOPSis, A. Milne-Edwards. 



68. Chlorodopsis spinipes (Heller). 



C. spinipes (Heller), A. Milne-Edwards, Nouv. Arch. Mus. Hist. Nat. t. ix. p. 230, pi. viii. fig. fi (1873). 



Ceylon {Ualy) ; Muttuwartu Par, a male {Thurston). 



The Muttuwartu specimen measures 8 mm. in length and lOij mm. in breadth. It is 

 more hirsute than is repr(!sentcd in Milne-Edwards's figure, the CJirapace, legs, and 

 chelipedes carrying many reddish brown hairs ; the under surface is without hairs, 

 and the sternal reo-ion is finely granulated. The male abdomen is very narrow, and the 

 ijenultiraate segment is slightly wider at its distal tfian at its proximal end. 



Distribution. Red Sea, :Malay Archipelago, New Caledonia.
