( 7S ) 



Antennal peduncle not much more than half the length of the eyestalk : 

 tiagellum not much more than half the length of the carapace : acicle reaching 

 nearly to the middle third of the terminal joint of the peduncle, bifid at tip, 

 with a spine on its outer border. 



Chelipeds short and massive : the raised edge of the carpal facet broadly 

 3-lobed, the straight iimer edge of the palm cut into 6 or 7 lobules, the 

 convex outer edge of the palm very obscurely rugulose ; fingers setose, the 

 dactylus little more than half the length of the palm. The opercular surface 

 of the chelipeds, as of the corresponding parts of the 2nd pair cf legs, is very 

 closely and finely granular, and the edges are setose. No patch of strias on 

 the inner surface of the palm. 



Second pair of legs a little longer than the chelipeds, which they embrace : 

 their edges, as also of the 3rd pair, setose. The edge of the carpal facet is 

 three-lobed, the raised outer edge of the propodite is 5-lobed, and the same 

 edge of the dactylus is unevenly serrulate : the inner edges of these three 

 joints are not lobulated : the dactylus is shorter than the propodite. 



Third pair of legs a little longer than the 2nd pair : only the convex 

 outer edge of the propodite is distinctly lobulate : the dactylus, though it 

 looks shorter, is about the same length as the propodite. 



In the 4th pair of legs the propodite is subcircular, and the dactylus 

 minute. 



Colours in spirit : faint pinkish, with crossbands of darker red on the 

 chelipeds and legs : finger-tips black : claws of dactyli brown. 



Length of carapace about 9 millim.
