98 CHLORODOPSIS SPINIPES. 



cles of carapace and legs , covered with long fine yellowish 

 hairs and by the characteristic shape of the hands: the tufts 

 of yellow hairs on both fingers , that are acuminated , the 

 much curved mobile finger, the strong teeth of the lat- 

 ter, etc. 



Chlor odius niger (Forskal) Riipp. 



The collection contains 58 specimens of different sizes of 

 this very common Indo-Pacific species, varying greatly 

 as regards the structure of the teeth of the antero- 

 lateral margins , these teeth being sometimes (in young spe- 

 cimens) acute, in other individuals obtuse, quite as has 

 been fully described by Alph. Milne Edwards (Nouv. Arch. 

 Mus. t. IX, pag. 215).

A fine male specimen is in the collection , wholly agreeing 

 with the description , though I will add something to 

 it. — The carapace is 19 mm. broad and 12 mm. long, 

 the two anterior teeth of the lateral margins being obtuse , 

 the third a little more acute , and the fourth acuminate 

 with a black point. The several lobes of the surface of 

 the carapace , though being smooth , are minutely punc- 

 tate and the posterior margin of the cephalothorax is some- 

 what granular. The upper margin of the meropodites 

 and also the other joints of the ambulatory legs are spi- 

 lunose (not granular, as says Milne Edwards) and covered 

 with long yellow hairs. The upper (posterior) margin of 

 the anterior legs is armed with three or four small obtuse 

 granules.
