Chlorodopsis melanochira A. Milne-Edwards. 



CJdorodopis melanochirus A. Miliu'-Edwards, Noiiv. Archiv. Mns., 9, p. 228, 



pi. 8, fig. 5, 1873 ; Haswell, Cat. Aust. Crust., p. 55, 1882. Chloro- 



dofsis melanochira Alcock, Journ. Asiatic Soc. Bengal, 67, p. 168, 



1898. 



Numerous specimens from Coral Bay, Sunday Island, and from Meyer 



Island. 



These agree very closely with the descriptions and figures given by 

 Milne-Edwards and Alcock, except that the dark coloration of the fixed 

 finger does not extend along the lower border of the hand. In this 

 character they resemble C. melanodactylus, but they distinctly differ from 

 that species in having the antero-lateral margin " divided into four lobes, 

 each of which is crowned with several spinules." 



The species is known from the Andamans, the coasts of AustraUa, and 

 from New Caledonia. 



Banareia armata A. Milne-Edwards. 



Banareia armata A. Milne-Edwards, Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. (4), 9, p. 168, pi. 8, 

 1869; and Nouv. Archiv. Mus., 9, p. 193, 1873: Alcock. Journ. 

 Asiatic Soc. Bengal, 67, p. 153, 1898. 



One specimen (dried) from Meyer Island, and two small spirit speci- 

 mens from Coral Bay, Sunday Island. The hands of the chelipeds ancl the 

 joints of the legs are more granular than is shown in Milne-Edwards's figure, 

 but the specimen agrees closely with Alcock's description, and must, I 

 think, belong here. 



The species is known to occur at New Caledonia and at the Andamans. 



Pilumnus fimbriatus Milne-Edwards. 



Pilumnus fimhriatus Milne-Edwards, Hist. Nat., Crust.. 1, p. 416. 1834; 

 Haswell, Cat. Aust. Crust., p. 66, pi. 1, fig. 4, 1882. 



One specimen taken at low tide at Coral Bay, Sunday Island, by Mr. 

 T. Iredale ; another (dried) one from Meyer Island. They agree well with 

 the descriptions given by Milne-Edwards and Haswell. 



The species is known from the east coast of Australia. 



Eriphia norfolcensis Grant and McCulloch. 



Eriphia norfolcensis Grant and McCulloch, Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W., 32, 

 pt. 1, p. 151, pi. 1, figs. 1, la, 16, 1907. 



Numerous specimens from Coral Bay, Sunda)^ Island, and from Meyer 

 Island, found under stones at low tide. 



The species is common at Norfolk Island, where it is said to be known 

 as the " 2>oison crab." 



Lophactaea actaeoides A. Milne-Edwards. 



Lophactaea actaeoides A. Mihie-Edwards, Nouv. Archiv. Mus., 9, p. 189, 

 pi. 6, fig. 7, 1873. 



One specimen from rock-pool, Meyer Island. It agrees well with Milne- 

 Edwards's description and figure. 



The species is found at New Caledonia, and I have a specimen from 

 Norfolk Island also.
