5. EuPAGURUs JANITOR, n. sp., Plate XL, fig. 6. 



As in Pvlopaourus the enlarged right hand is deflexed at an angle with 

 the wrist to form a door to the shell inhabited (a species of Tz^r^o) ; and 

 somewhat as in Cancelliis the 2nd and 3rd pairs of legs support the door, 

 though they are not specially modified for the purpose. 



Carapace bearing some tufts of setas, three tufts in a line on either 

 side of the gastric region being conspicuous. Rostrum broadly triangular, 

 but acute, much more prominent than the ill-defined antennal angles of the 



carapace. 



Eyestalks piriform, much shorter than the anterior border of the 

 carapace, reaching into the distal third of the terminal joint of the anten- 

 nular peduncle, and into the distal half of the same joint of the antennal 

 peduncle. Eyes subreniform, very large and black. Ophthalmic scales 

 distant,- narrow-foliaceous, dorsally concave. 



Antennal peduncle decidedly longer than antennular peduncle, setose 

 at base : acicle curved, setose, overlapping base of terminal joint of peduncle: 

 flagellum nearly twice as long as the carapace, nude. 



Chelipeds both tomentose and hairy, but not so as to entirely conceal 

 surface sculpture ; legs hairy. 



Rif^ht cheliped vastly more massive than the left, short and stout, the 

 hand permanently deflexed almost at right angles with the wrist ; merus 

 pyramidal, smooth and polished ; carpus triangular, as long as merus and 

 broader than long ; there are 2 or 3 claw-like spines at the far end of its 

 upper border, 3 or 4 spines in a longitudinal row on its upper surface, and 

 a short irregular median series of granules on the same surface : the palm is 

 longer and much broader than the wrist and much broader than long ; its 

 outer edge forms, with that of the fixed finger, a curve of about 120°, and 

 its inner edge, with that of the dactylus, is almost straight, both edges being 

 thickly setose and very regularly serrated ; its extensor surface, when 

 denuded, is found to be studded with granules, of which a few here and 

 there are enlarged : the dactylus is much narrower than the fixed finger and 

 has a median longitudinal row of pearly granules on its upper surface ; 

 the finger-tips are calcareous. 



The slender left cheliped reaches the base of the right dactylus : the 

 lower border of its merus is spinulose, and the upper surface of its carpus 

 carries two longitudinal rows of spines : the palm is about as long as the 

 fingers, which are blunt and spooned. 



The 2nd and 3rd legs slightly exceed the larger cheliped, those of the 

 right side being the longer : their three distal joints are not capable of 

 complete extension in a straight line with the merus and are carried, much
