256 LEUCOSIA URANIA. 



Leucosia urania Herbst. 



Eight specimens were collected at Djeddali, Red Sea. 

 They agree wholly with the typical specimen of Leuc. neo- 

 caledonica Alph. M. Edw. from New-Caledonia, that I de- 

 scribed for some time to be identical with Leuc. urania Herbst 

 (Notes Leyden Museum, Vol. Ill, p. 123). The upper mar- 

 gin of the palm of the hands in our specimens is cristate , it 

 being more rounded in the New-Caledonian specimen, but 

 it may be attributed to the larger size of that individual. 

 There are two dark spots on the posterior surface of the 

 carapace.
