64 STALK- AND SESSILE-EYED CRUSTACEA 
upper inner margin of the wrist; hand ovate, with the spinules 
arrauged in two longitudinal lines, reaching to the base of the upper 
margin of the fingers, elsewhere scattered; smaller hand with a group 
of larger spinules in the centre of the upper surface of the palm. 
Ambulatory legs hairy, the hairs more dense on the tarsi, which are 
slender, longer than the penultimate joint, ante-penultimate joit of 
legs of second pair with a series of spinules on its upper surface. 
Colour light pink, with here and there spots of a darker colour. 
Length from anterior margin of carapace to base of abdomen about J in. 
New Zealand (Coll. Brit. Mus.). 
The abdomen is unfortunately almost entirely destroyed in the single 
specimen before me, and the total length cannot be given, but this is a 
much larger animal than Hu. nove-zealandiev, and the hands are 
spinulous and hairy, not granulous and naked, as in that species. In 
Eu. cristatus, the hand has one or two prominent denticulated crests, 
according to the description of M. Milne Edwards. 
From Eupagurus japonicus, Stimpson, this species differs in its 
longer slender tarsi. Hu. acantholepis of the same author has the 
wrist slightly canaliculate above, Eu. constans has a prominent rostral 
tooth. In none of these species is mention made of two series of 
spinules upon the palm.

close fringe of hairs. Anterior legs very short, subequal; fingers 
opening vertically, spoon-excavate, with black corneous tips. Ambu-
