The greatest breadth of the carapace is about two-thirds the length in 

 the middle hne. Some fine silky setae are present on the sides of the cara- 

 pace, and on the antennal peduncles, and legs ; but except on the wrist 

 and hand, and on the dactyli of the and and 3rd legs, they are not very 

 noticeable. 



Rostrum rather prominent, reaching to, or a little beyond, the base of the 

 ophthalmic scales, and beyond the antennal angles of the carapace, 



Eyestalks about one-sixth longer than the anterior border of the cara- 

 pace, as long as the antennular peduncles : the eye occupies about one- 

 eleventh of the length of the stalk. Ophthalmic scales approximated, their 

 edge spinose. 



Antennal acicle setose, very indistinctly serrulate, usually not over- 

 lapping the base of the terminal joint of the peduncle : flagellum nearly 

 twice as long as the carapace. 



Chelipeds equal and similar, slightly stouter than the legs, about i % times 

 as long as the carapace : merus with i or 2 spinules at the far end of the 

 outer lower border : inner border of carpus indistinctly, and of propodite 

 more distinctly, serrulate, the carpus having a distinct spine at the far end of the 

 inner border : outer surface of the fingers studded with dark-tipped spinules, 

 of which a few are also found at the far end of the upper and outer surface of 

 the hand. Except for these, and for the little elevations from which the sparse 

 setae that beset the wrist and hand and fingers spring, the chelipeds are not 

 armed. The fingers when closed are separated at the base by a gap. 



The and and 3rd legs exceed the chelipeds, on the left side by more than 

 a dactylus, and on the right side by more than a dactylus and a half. The 

 dactylus of the and leg is barely longer than, that of the 3rd leg is about 

 12/7 times the length of, its propodite : the propodites of both pairs are 

 subcylindrical. 



Colours in spirit : yellow, with a series of straight red longitudinal lines 

 on the eyestalks and and and 3rd pairs of legs, and — though less distinct and 

 slightly broken or sinuous — on the chelipeds. 



Length of carapace 2j millim.
