SPECIES KE-ASSORTED 161 



mdnus, this species shares the characters of Pagurus 

 and Clihanarvus, though its affinities are more with the 

 latter genus ; the chelipedes are snbequal, a distinct ros- 

 tral projection is present, and the ocular peduncles are 

 tolerably long and slender ; at the same time the ophthal- 

 mic scales are arranged as in Pagurus.' He adds that 

 ' the special features of Clibanaritis strigimanus are the 

 curious striated (stridulating?) areas on the inner surface 

 of the hand of each chelipede, and the narrow and acute 

 terminal portions of the ophthalmic scales.' 



In Bell's ' History of British Stalk-eyed Crustacea,' 

 ten species are named and described as belonging to the 

 genus Pagurus, but the majority of them are now differ^ 

 ently classified. Thus Pagurus Bernhardus (Linn.) and 

 Pagurus ulidia.nus, Thompson, both become Eupagurus 

 Bernhardtis (Linn.) ; Pagurus Prideaux (needlessly altered 

 to Prideauxii), Leach, and Pagurus cuanensis, Thompson, 

 are likewise transferred to Eupagwms, though retaining 

 their original specific names ; Pagurus Thompsoui, Bell, is 

 a synonym of Eupagurtis puhescens (Kroyer), Pagurus For- 

 hesii, Bell, a synonym of Eupagurus scidptwianus (luucas),^ 

 and a British species not mentioned by Bell, Pagurus 

 tricarinatus, Norman, is now identified with Eupagurtis 

 excavatus (Herbst). Pagurus Hyndmanni, Thompson, Pa- 

 gurus Icevisy Thompson, and another British species not 

 mentioned by Bell, Pagurus ferrugiiieus, Norman, are now 

 transferred to the genus Anapagurus, the last-mentioned 

 being a synonym of A7iapa,gurus cliiroacayitlius (Lilljeborg). 

 All the nine species are at a glance distinguished from 

 Pagurus by having the right cheliped larger than the left. 

 In Bell's two remaining species the left cheliped is the 

 larger. Of these Pagurus Dilwynii, Sp. Bate, is a synonym 

 of Diogenes variants, Costa, thus leaving to the original 

 genus no British species except Pagurus fasciatus, Bell, a 

 species which may be the same as Pagurus striatus^ La- 

 treille, and which, at any rate as far as Bell was con- 

 cerned, was not described from nature at all, but from a 



^ G. 0. Sars refers the Far/urus Fordesli, Bell, to the genus S_inro- 

 pagurus.
