tubercles, the free edge of which is evenly fringed with very short ciHa, as 

 in Pas^urus imbncatus. The cutting edges of the fingers are quite straight, 

 and meet closely throughout their length. 



The 2nd and 3rd legs on the left side reach slightly beyond, those on the 

 right side more than half a dactylus-iength beyond, the chelipeds ; their 

 edges, especially those of the and pair, are setose ; in the 2nd pair, the 

 anterior border of the carpus and propodite are strongly spinose, the same 

 parts of the 3rd pair being inconspicuously spinulose : in both pairs the 

 inner surface of the two terminal joints has some squamiform markings 

 somewhat like those on the outer surface of the hands. 



Colours in spirit : dirty pinkish white, the cilia that define the scale-Iika 

 tubercles of the chelipeds, brown. Length of carapace, 12 millim.

Except on the edges of the 2nd pair of legs and on the dactylus of the 

 3rd pair, there are no conspicuous setas in this species. 



Carapace elongate, its greatest breadth about two-thirds its length in the 

 middle line. The rostrum reaches well beyond the middle of the ophthalmic 

 scales. 



Eyestalks moderately stout but very long, reaching nearly to the end of 

 the antennular flagella. 



Antennal acicle spinose, reaching nearly to the end of the peduncle : 

 flagellum about two-thirds the length of the carapace. 



Chelipeds similar, subequal or the left very slightly the larger, their length 

 about half again that of the carapace. The exposed (extensor) surface of 

 wrist, hand and fingers is very closely beset with sharp granules, which on 

 the inner edge of the wrist and hand become strong teeth. The cutting edges 

 of the fingers are quite straight, and meet throughout their length.
