(5) The disproportion between the cheh'peds is very much less, especially 

 in the female. In the female they are of nearly equal size ; and in the male 

 though the left is more massive, it is not much longer than the right. The 

 legs on both sides reach well beyond the larger cheiiped. 



(6) The propodite of the 3rd left leg is more than half as broad as long, 

 and has its outer surface flattened. 



Colours in spirit : carapace with a large maroon patch on the front part of 

 the gastric region, and with some similar patches spotted with white scattered 

 elsewhere : chelipeds and legs slate-colour flecked with red and white ; a 

 broad maroon cross-band on the merus and carpus of both pair of crawling 

 legs. 



In the largest Indian specimen in the I. M. collection the carapace is 

 25 millim. (one inch) long. 



Distribution : Red Sea and east coast of Africa, eastwards through the 

 Indo-Pacific to Samoa ; i.e., from about 40° E. to about 170° W., and from 

 about 20° N. to about 20° S.

Carapace greatly depressed, its greatest breadth across the branchial 

 regions equal to its length in the middle line: tufts of yellow bristles are 

 present on its anterior and antero-lateral borders. 



Eyestalks subcylindrical, somewhat broadened distally, hardly more than 

 two-thirds the length of the front border of the carapace, slightly longer than 

 the antennular peduncles : the eyes occupy less than a fourth of the length of 

 their terminal joint. 



Antennal acicle setose, very short — not nearly reaching the end of the 

 penultimate joint of the antennal peduncle.
