Tuticorin, a male ( Thnrston).

 The carapace is IIT) mm. long and ].")-.j mni. broad. Milne-Edwards's type-specimen was 

 slightlv larger. 



Distribution. New Caledonia, Lifu, Torres Strait, Arafura Sea.

Tuticorin, a series ; Muttuwartu Par {Thurston) ; Rameswaram {J. B. JI.). 

 I have examined tlio types of Atergatis lateralis, White, from Mauritius, and find that 

 they are identical with this species, as more than one writer had already suspected.

Muttuwartu Par, three specimens ( Thurston). 



These are probably young, the largest measuring only 13"5 mm. in length and 22 mm. 

 in breadth. Immersion in spirit 1ms completely removed all trace of the vi-vad colour 

 shown in Milne-Edwards's figure.

Ceylon (Halg) ; jMuttuwartu Par, a male ( Thurston). 



The Muttuwartu specimen measures 8 mm. in length and 10'5 mm. in breadth. It is

 and the sternal region is linely granulated. Tlie male abdomen is very narrow, and the 

 penultimate segment is slightly wider at its distal than at its proximal end.
