between the posterior moiety of the dorsal and the subdorsal 

 crest, but there are no granules between the dorsal crest and its 

 fellow. Anterioi' moiety of the dorso-lateral crest wanting, poste- 

 rior moiety of this and of the 4th or hiteral crest entire, pro- 

 minent, obtuse at their anterior extremities. Branchial region 

 smooth between these crests. All the tubercles and crests of the 

 carapace, like most tubercles of the abdomen, show a corroded 

 and eroded appearance. 



Abdomen nearly as in GUfph. sicaria. Median crest interrupted 

 on the 2n'l and all the foUowing somites, moderately prominent ; 

 on the three anterior somites the crest is rounded, obtuse, on the 

 following it becomes gradually more compressed laterally. Lateral 

 edges of the telson smooth. 



Eyes in the adult blackish or mouse-coloured. Antennae and 

 antennulae like in Glyph. sicaria Faxon, antennal scale almost 

 twice as long as broad, the inner margin more strongly curved 

 than the oiiter. 



Second peraeopods reaching in the adult by the chela beyond 

 the antennal scale, but at every age shorter than any of the three 

 posterior legs. Dactyli of S'd pair one-third, those of the two 

 last pairs half as long as their propodi ; the dactyli are lanceolate, 

 of those of the A.^'^ and öth pair the upper surface is longitudi- 

 nally ridged from the tip to the base. 



Eggs few in number, large, 2,5 — 3 mm. broad. 



Length of largest female 108 mm. (rostrum 24 mm., carapace 

 27 mm., abdomen 57 mm.).
