OF NEW ZEALAND. 61 
Sides of the rostrum spinose. Lateral margins of the carapace with 
a series of spines. Anterior legs elongated, slender, arm with a series 
of spines on the anterior margin. 
The two following species, for which I constitute this sub-genus, 
have somewhat the aspect of Galathea, from which, however, they are 
at once distinguished by the form of the external maxillipeds, which 
is that of the Porcellanidea.

66. Petrocheles spinosus. PI, I, fig. 5. 
Petrocheles spinosus, Miers, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (ser. 4) xvii, 
p. 222 (1876). 
Carapace depressed, broader behind, almost entirely covered with a 
close short pubescence, lateral margins with a series of ten or eleven 
small spines. Front prominent, lateral margins with three or four 
spinules. Anterior legs unequal, somewhat elongated, closely pubescent, 
granulous above, arm with a series of four or five spines on the anterior 
margin ; hand elongated, fingers hairy on their inner margins, and not 
quite meeting at base when closed. Ambulatory legs with the superior 
margins spinulous and hairy. Length of carapace 7’; in.; breadth } in. 
New Zealand (Coll. Brit. Mus.). 
A single, much injured specimen exists in the Collection. A speci- 
men from Australia has, in addition, two spines on the carapace at the 
base of the front, two longitudinal series of eight spines each on the 
upper and posterior surface of the arm, the upper margin of the mobile 
finger spinulous. For this I have proposed the name of P. austra- 
liensis.
