The eyestalks are slightly more than half the length of the front border 

 of the carapace, and reach to near the middle of the 2nd joint of the anten- 

 nular and of the terminal joint of the antennal peduncles. The antennal 

 acicle is strongly serrate along the inner margin. 



The chelipeds are porcellanous and not remarkably tomentose. The 

 richt cheliped is nearly smooth, but usually the well-defined upper and lower 

 borders of the palm and the corresponding borders of the fingers, and 

 sometimes both borders of the wrist also, are (under a lens) granular or 

 serrulate. 



The 2nd and 3rd legs only slightly surpass the larger cheliped. 



The length of the body is hardly 16 millim. (female with ova).

Differs from P- pilosimanus in the following characters : — 



The rostrum is more triangular and somewhat more prominent. 



The tip of the ophthalmic scales is spinulose. 



The antennular peduncle is about five-sevenths the length of the 

 carapace, and its terminal joint is conspicuously club-shaped, not merely 

 enlarged distally. 



The antennal acicle is strongly serrated along the inner border. 



The right cheliped of the male is about 3I times the length of the 

 carapace ; it is setose but not thickly tomentose, the surface sculpture not 

 being at all concealed, the cylindrical carpus is longer than the combined 

 ischium and merus and considerably longer than the palm, and the dactylus 

 is not two-thirds the length of the palm : the greatest breadth of the palm 

 (distally) is not half its length : the outer surface of the merus, all surfaces of 

 the carpus, and both borders of the palm (and the corresponding borders of 

 the fingers) are thickly studded with acute granules or spinules. 



The slender left cheliped of the male reaches to the distal third of the 

 right carpus ; its joints are elongate, rather thickly setose, and almost smooth.
