  Five 
  males 
  are 
  

   referx'ed 
  to 
  this 
  species, 
  mostly 
  inhabiting 
  shells 
  of 
  the 
  genus 
  

   Dolium. 
  

  

  Specimens 
  are 
  in 
  the 
  British-Museum 
  collection 
  from 
  the 
  Mauritius. 
  

   In 
  this 
  species 
  there 
  is 
  usually 
  an 
  oblique 
  series 
  of 
  somewhat 
  more 
  

   elongated 
  tubercles 
  on 
  the 
  upper 
  surface 
  of 
  the 
  palm, 
  occupying 
  the 
  

   place 
  of 
  the 
  series 
  of 
  oblicjue 
  ridges 
  in 
  C. 
  riujosa. 
  The 
  basal 
  

   joint 
  of 
  the 
  right 
  fifth 
  ambulatory 
  leg 
  is 
  in 
  the 
  adult 
  male 
  fur- 
  

   nished 
  with 
  an 
  elongated 
  curved 
  styliform 
  lobe, 
  as 
  noted 
  by 
  De 
  

   Haan 
  ; 
  this 
  does 
  not 
  exist 
  in

  small 
  male 
  from

  which 
  I 
  have 
  designated 
  C.

  and 
  which 
  

   may

  to 
  a

  to 
  this

  but' 
  on 
  examination 
  of

  I 
  find 
  that 
  Milne- 
  

   Edwards's 
  citation 
  of 
  this 
  as 
  an 
  imaginary 
  (or 
  manufactured) 
  type 
  

   is 
  correct; 
  and 
  therefore 
  I 
  retain 
  the 
  M&me
