iÜ8 CARCINOLOGICAL STUDIES. 



of the external antennae are comparatively a little shorter, 

 so that the eye-peduncles reach still to the distal third of 

 the terminal joiut, and secondly that the eye-peduncles are 

 a little longer than the hairy basal spine of these antennae. 



The anterior margin of the outer surface of the arms 

 of the chelipedes is armed along its distal half with sharp 

 spinules which are larger on the left chelipede than on 

 the right one. 



The propodites of the second and third pair of legs 

 present traces of a reddish transverse ring or band. 



This species in characterized by the triangular wrist of 

 the right chelipede , being as long as measures the 

 breadth of its anterior margin, which is still 

 slightly shorter than the length of the palm 

 and presenting on its upper surface two pa- 

 rallel rows of spinules, between which the 

 wrist appears smooth and glabrous — and finally 

 by the dactylopodites of the second and third 

 pair of legs being shorter than the propodites. 



The cephalothorax of the female is 9 mm. long , the 

 larger hand is 8V4 mni. long , and the palm is 6 mm. broad. 



Eup. hirtimanus has been also recorded from the Phi- 

 lippines and from the Fiji Islands; its geographical range 

 would be rather extensive , when this species should be 

 indeed identical with Eup. sinuatus Stimpson. 



The nearest ally of this species is Eupagurus Traversi 

 Filhol from Cook's Straits and from Stewart Island, but 

 the larger hand of this form is armed with six longi- 

 tudinal rows of sharp conical tubercles.

 his Pagurus chilensis (1. c. p. 279), when he says that the eye-peduncles are
