on the lower or posterior margins of the propodites and 

 at the base of those of the meropodites. The outer surface 

 of these legs is for the rest nearly smooth. They are covered 

 along their margins with tolerably long yellow hairs.

The cephalothorax presents, on a pale yellowish gray 

 ground-colour , a few purplish spots , one on the middle 

 of the gastric and one on the cardiac region; that part 

 of the upper orbital margin which lies between the two 

 incisions, is also marked with purple. The hands and the 

 other legs are also marbled with this colour. The fingers 

 are pale brown, with white tips and white teeth, and the 

 brown colour does not extend on the palm. 



The hands of this species somewhat resemble those of

Etisodes frontalis was discovered in the Sooloo Sea.

The Leyden Museum contains a single male from Padang. 



The figure of this crab in the »Nouv. Archives du Mu- 

 seum, T. IX, pi. 9, fig. 1" is not quite exact, as I found 

 by an examination of the small type-specimen of this species 

 in the Paris Museum. The cephalothorax indeed has been 

 drawn a little too long. The front, which in larger 

 individuals is comparatively narrower than in the young 

 ones, has been well figured. 



The cephalothorax of the Padang specimen is compara-
