Fig. 1. Sesarma bocourti A. M. Edw. Magn. 14. 
This species is easily characterized, as Milne-Edwards and de Man 
observed, by the peculiar shape of the chelipeds. As the figure in the 
voyage of the ,Magenta” seems to be the only one ') representing this 
species, I have deemed it not superfluous to give a new figure. 
The carapace is convexly arched fore and aft, sloping down towards 
the branchial regions, where the usual obliquely transverse lines may be 
observed. The inner postfrontal lobes are more than 11/, times as broad 
1) I myself could not consult this paper; Nobili has compared his specimens with the 
original specimen of Targioni-Tozzetti and, except for some small differences, found them per- 
fectly alike.
