tion. Just recently his Squilla neglecta, characterized in remarkably 

 few words, has been found again and recognized without difificulty.' 

 The front of his grandimana surely cannot be very different from that 

 of C. major or very unlike that of C. branneri. That several authors 

 have assumed that C. grandimana had a trispinose front seems to be 

 due to a mistaken impression based on Stimpson's passing comparison 

 of the description, not specimens, of Gibbes' species with his Glypturus 

 acanthochirus. De Man was well aware that Stimpson, as he says, had 

 never seen the Gibbes species, yet he, too, without any good reason, 

 was moved to consider that it might be related to the trispinose C. 

 longiventris. For Balss' species the name of the collector. Dr. R. Hart- 

 meyer, is proposed : Callianassa hartineycri. 



(2.) Callianassa sigiianensis (Boone). (Glypturus siguanensis, 

 Bull. Bingham Oceanogr. Coll., vol. i, art. 2, p. 85, fig. 17, 1927. Type 

 locality, Siguanea Bay, Isle of Pines.) This species would key out 

 below^ with C. branneri (p. 4, below). For want of evidence other 

 than that given by the author I am inclined to consider it identical 

 with this last-named species. 



(3.) Callianassa occidentalis Bate (Rept. Challenger Macrura, p. 

 29, pi. 2, fig. 2k, 1888. Type locality, off Sombrero Island). Only the 

 larger left cheliped is known, so the species (?) cannot be satisfactorily 

 keyed out ; moreover, it may even be the cheliped of a larger specimen 

 of the '''' Cheramus " occidentalis of the same author noted in the key 

 below (II. A., p. 5), a considerably mutilated specim.en lacking the 

 chelipeds. 



KEY TO SPECIES OF CALLIANASSA 



I. Telson broader than long, third maxillipeds more or less broad and flattened, 

 especially ischium and merns, and often the propodus too. 

 A. Lateral angles or projections of front not spined. 



I. Inner uropods narrow, about four times as long as broad, styliform or 

 straplike; rostral projection low, blunt, or rounded triangular. 



a. Carpus of larger cheliped more than four times as long as its great- 



est width; merus with a shallow projection or low granulated 

 tooth on ventral border ; ischium with a long, prominent hooked 

 tooth or spine near middle of ventral border. . . Aslagrande, n. sp. 



b. Carpus less than three times as long as wide ; merus with strong 



tooth near proximal end of lower border ; ischium not known 

 (North Carolina to Florida) major Say.^
