One specimen inhabiting a Natica-shell , from the coast 

 of Queensland or of New South Wales. 



This species belongs to those in which the second 

 and third pair of legs are longitudinally striated and in 

 which the dactylopodites of these legs are longer than the 

 propodites. Amongst the indo-pacific species , these charac- 

 ters are presented , besides by Glib, taeniatus , by Clib. 

 lineatus H. Milne Edw., Glib, asper H. Milne Edw., Clib. 

 vulgaris Dana, Clib. striolatus Dana, Clib. longitarsus de 

 Haan and Clib. padavensis de Man. I am unacquainted 

 with the two first-named species , but specimens , preserved 

 in spirits, belonging to the four last-named ones , are lying 

 before me , so that I am able to indicate the principal dif- 

 ferences by which Clib. taeniatus may be distinguished. 



This specimen has lost the left chelipede , so that I cannot 

 say if the two chelipedes are similar to one another or not. 

 The differences between this species and Clib. vulgaris Dana 

 are not considerable. Firstly I may remark that Clib, tae- 

 niatus differs from the four other species by the colo- 

 ration of the cephalothorax. The anterior part of the cephalo- 

 thorax of Clib. taeniatus , in front of the cervical suture , 

 is namely marked with pale coloured longitudinal 

 bands which are bordered by narrow red lines: 

 in the four other species these bands and red lines are 

 wanting. The median frontal tooth of Clib. vulgaris is a
