378 Records of the Indian Muscitni. [Voi„ III, 



Paratelphusa [Liotelplutsa) austrina^ sp. nov. 



This species from vSoutli India is close to P. levis, but is easily 

 distinguished Ijy the form of the front and of the male abdomen. 



The free edge of the front ])roper is quite distinct and separate 

 from the antcnnular edge of the front, as it is in P. hydyodyoinHs 

 (Herbst). 



The three terminal segments of the male abdomen are much 

 contracted ; the sixth segment is narrow and has ]:)arallel sides, and 

 its length exceeds its maximum breadth. 



vSubgenus Globitclphusa (Type: Paratelphusa hakeri). 

 Paratelphusa [Glohiteiphusa) bakeri, sp. nov. 



Carapace broad, subcylindrical , with the regions barely dis- 

 tinguishable, the cer\dcal groove being distinct onh^ w^here it bounds 

 the mesogastric area posteriorly. 



Front broad, square-cut, almost vertically deflexed. 



External orbital angle and lateral epibranchial denticle insignifi- 

 cant. 



Epigastric crests just recognizable, post-orbital crests more 

 distinct but still not conspicuous. 



Length of 6th abdominal segment just equal to its distal 

 breadth : 7th segment ver}^ much longer than broad. 



Mandibular palp as in P. tridentata, Edw. Exopodite of exter- 

 nal maxillipeds pointed, hairy, non-flagellate. Exopodite of ist 

 and 2nd maxillipeds with a vestigial flagellum. 



Chelipeds unequal. Legs rather slender. 



Chiefly from Ganjam in North Cachar : 10 males, 8 females. 



Paratelphusa {Glohiteiphusa) hakeri var, cylindrus. 



The cylindrical or barrel-like carapace has the branchial regions 

 independently inflated in this variety. The epigastric crests are 

 more distinct, and the post-orbital crests are less distinct, than in 

 the type. 



From the Naga Hills and from Assam : 9 males, i female. 



Paratelphusa {Glohiteiphusa) pistorica, sp. nov. 



P. pistorica is like P. hakeri var. cylindrus in form. It differs 

 in having the side walls of the carapace rugose, and in having the 

 exopodites of the ist and 2nd maxillipeds flagellate : there may be a 

 papillary vestige of a flagellum on those of the external maxillipeds. 



From Assam and Cachar : 8 males, 7 females. 



The three following species have a squarish and flattish carapace 

 quite unlike the broad cylindrical carapace of the three previous 

 species ; but as the epigastric and post-orbital crests and the lateral 

 epibranchial spin'e are all insignificant, and the cervical groove 

 is indistinct, and the exopodite of the external maxillipeds is
