The carapace is oval, elongated, and scarcely hairy. 

 The facial region occupies almost -the whole breadth of 

 the carapace. There are no orbits or antennular fossae. 

 The epistomian point joins the front. The last two pairs 

 of legs are subdorsal in position, and prehensile. The 

 grooves of the sternal plastron of the female are scarcely 

 marked, and do not exceed the level of the third pair of 

 legs. 



Range. — West Indian Sea. 



I. Dicranodromia ovata. 



Dicranodromia ovata ... A. Milne Edwards. 



The carapace is convex transversely ; the lateral 

 borders are almost parallel posteriorly ; they diverge 

 slightly behind, the carapace being wider there than in 

 front. The front is formed of two large, triangular teeth, 

 between which is seen a small median point. The superior 

 orbital border has on the outside a straight linear fissure. 

 There is a large notch outside the orbit. The suborbital 

 angle is rounded and lobiform. There are small spines 

 on the external orbital lobe, and on the anterior part of 

 the lateral edges. 



The first pair of legs, smooth, is clothed in short 

 down. 



Range. — Guadaloupe, Barbados, Havana.
