 are some long stiff hairs upon the edge of each of the 

 large spines ; a short down covers the rest of the

The colour of the carapace is white, with a rose tint 

 on the legs ; the pincers are reddish, their fingers are 

 black. The last joint of the walking legs are brown ; 

 the hairs are tawny.

Eriphia . . . Latreille, Milne Edwards, Miers. 



Carapace moderately convex, but little broader than 

 long, with the antero-lateral margins much shorter than 

 the postero-lateral margins ; the frontal region broad, 

 but the front not prominent. The antero-lateral margins 

 (and usually the front) are spinous ; the parts adjacent 

 are usually armed with tubercles or short spines. The 

 eye-peduncles are short and deeply set in the orbits, 

 whose prominent margins are often granulated ; it is 

 broadly united with the front at the interior angle. 

 The basal antennal joint barely reaches the inferior 

 margin of the front, but the flagellum is well developed. 

 The epistome is transverse. The third joint of the 

 external maxillipedes is not produced at its antero- 

 internal angle ; the fourth joint is truncated but not 

 emarginate at the distal extremity, and scarcely, if at 

 all, emarginate at its antero-internal angle. The first 

 pair of legs in the male is considerably developed, and 

 usually unequal ; fingers distally acute, or subacute. 

 Walking legs of moderate length, with the joints neither
