Front half of carapace, bases of eyestalks and antennular and antennal 

 peduncles, chelipeds and legs red, profusely maculated with yellowish-white. 



The rostrum reaches the base of the ophthalmic scales. The eyestalks 

 are as long as the anterior border of the carapace and nearly as long as the 

 antennular peduncles: the ophthalmic scales are almost in contact. 



The antennal acicle barely overlaps the base of the terminal joint of the 

 peduncle. 



Chelipeds equal ; a strong spine at the far end of the inner border of 

 the wrist : inner edge and upper surface of hand spinose, with seta? inter- 

 spersed. 



2nd and 3rd pair of legs sparsely setose, without any armature except 

 a spine near the far end of the upper border of the carpus ; on the left side 

 exceeding the chelipeds by their dactylus, and on the right side by rather 

 more. The dactylus of the 3rd pair is exactly the same length as its propo- 

 dite, though it looks shorter. 



The only specimen in the Museum collection is so injured that this 

 short diagnosis is all that it furnishes.

10. Clibanarius albicinctus, n. sp. Plate IV., fig. 4. 



This species differs from all its congeners, except the West Indian sublittoral C anoinalus, 

 to which it is most closely related, in the disposition of the ophthalmic scales, which lie far 

 apart. 



Carapace smooth, nearly bare, its greatest breadth about three-quarters 

 of its length in the middle line. Rostrum hardly more prominent than the 

 antennal angles of the carapace, 



Eyestalks stoutish, barely as long as the anterior border of the carapace, 

 but longer than the antennular peduncles : the eyes occupy about one- 

 seventh of the length of the stalk : ophthalmic scales short, triangular, acute, 

 widely separated.
