between the fingers when the tips are in contact. In both chehpeds the fingers 

 are pointed — not broad and spooned. 



Legs long, the 2nd (longest) pair being at least as long as the larger 

 cheliped ; there may be some short bristles on the dactyli, but none of the 

 joints are hirsute ; the spines on the distal part of the lower border of the 

 propodites are very distinct ; the longer pi'opodites are about twice as long as 

 broad and are not quite as long as their dactyli ; the four rows of spines on the 

 dactyli are very conspicuous. 



In a large adult male the carapace is xirths inch long, -Rnds inch broad, and 

 ^th inch deep.

44. Paratelphusa (Globitelphusa) pilosipes, Alcock. (Fig. 33.) 



This species is distinguished by its blunt spooned fingers and by the short, 

 l)lunt, thickly hirsute dactyli of the legs. 



It is closely related to P. guhernatoris, difiering only as follows : — 



The carapace is a little broader ; the cervical groove is even less distinct ; 

 the outer orbital angle is even broader and blunter ; the antero-lateral borders 

 of the carapace are a little more convex immediately behind the orbit, and the 

 lateral epibranchial tooth is even more obscm-e, or is altogether absent. 



The epigastric and post- orbital crests can be imagined rather than 

 discerned, though a shallow longitudinal mesogastric groove is present. 



The antennge are similar in form, but the flagellum is vestigial or absent. 



The chelipeds are similar as far as the hand, in which the fingers are stout, 

 a good deal shorter than the palm in the larger cheliped, and have broad, 

 spooned, or hoof-like tips ; none of their teeth are enlarged. 



In the legs the propodites are sparsely beset and the dactyli are thickly 

 clothed with tufts of l)ristles ; the dactyli are clumsy-looking and are shorter 

 than their propodites. 



In all other respects this species agrees with P. gabernatorh; it may 

 indeed be merely a variety of it, but I have not enough specimens to form a 

 judgment ; or it may possibly be a second form of the male oi gubernatoris.
