non-flagellate, I include them in the subgenus Globitelphusa : all 

 three are verv small species and come from Mahableshwar. 



ParatiipJiusa {Glohitclphusci) i^uhcruatoris, sp. nov. 



Carapace flat, square ; ' ' cervical groove ' ' reduced to a line cres- 

 cent bounding the mesogastric area posteriorly. 



Front broad, square, strongh^ deflexed. Epigastric crests just 

 distinguishable : post-orbital crests distinct only at their outer end. 



Three terminal segments of male abdomen much contracted : 

 in the 6th segment the distal breadth slightly exceeds the proximal 

 breadth and equals the length. 



Mandibular palp as in P. tridentata , Edw. Ghelipeds unequal : 

 tips of fingers pointed. Legs long, none of the joints particularly 

 hirsute. 



From Mahableshwar : 35 males, 22 females. 



Paratelphusa {Globitelphusa) pilosipes, sp. nov. 



Very like P. gubernatoris, but the epigastric and post-orbital 

 crests can be imagined rather than discerned, and the lateral epi- 

 branchial tooth may be altogether absent. The antennal flagellum 

 is vestigial. The finger-tips are broad, blunt, and spooned. The 

 dactyli of the legs are short and clumsy and are thickly clothed \\\t\\ 

 tufts of bristles. 



From Mahableshwar : 5 males. 



The question naturally arises : is this a second form of the 

 male of P. gubernatoris '^ 



Paratelphusa {Globitelphusa) fronto, sp. nov. 



Much like P. gubernatoris and pilosipes, but the carapace is 

 convex. Front of the adult immensely broad, half the maximum 

 breadth of the carapace. Lateral epibranchial tooth distinct, very 

 near the angle of the orbit. Epigastric and post-orbital crests ver}^ 

 indistinct. Fifth segment of male abdomen very narrow, its length 

 equal to its distal breadth : sixth segment also very narrow, its 

 length considerably exceeds its distal breadth which is greater than 

 its proximal breadth : seventh segment much longer than broad. 

 Antennal flagellum much impacted and contracted : antennal flagel- 

 lum absent. Chelipeds unequal : fingers ])ointed. Legs studded 

 all over with tufts of long, coarse bristles. 



From Mahableshwar : 23 males, 6 females. 



Genus Gecarcinucus, Edw. 



In this genus the front is a long, narrow, greatly deflexed lobe, 

 hardly wider than the orbit : the dactyli of the crawling legs are 

 slender. In other respects it agrees with Paratelphusa ; and it is 

 doubtful whether the two genera are really distinct.
