Length, 62 mm. Rostrum, 6mm. Carapace, 30 mm. From tip of ros- 
trum to cervical groove, 19.5 mm.; from cervical groove to posterior border 
of carapace, 10.5 mm. Abdomen, 32 mm. Width of areola, 7 mm. Antenne, 
47 mm. Chelipeds, 49 mm. Chela, 23 mm. Width of chela, 6 mm. 
St. John’s River, Hawkinsville, Orange Co., Fla.: J. A. Allen. 
A well-marked species with toothless excavated rostrum (younger speci- 
mens probably have marginal rostral teeth), narrow areola, long, sub- 
cylindrical chelipeds covered with ciliated squamous tubercles. The first 
abdominal legs are not jointed, the hooks on the third and fourth pairs 
of thoracic legs are large and well finished, so that I consider the single 
specimen examined to be the first form. 
In the collection of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia 
is a specimen from Hernando Co., Fla., Jos. W. Wilcox, which is probably 
the second form of the male of this species. The sexual appendages are 
not articulated at the base. The hooks on the third and fourth pairs of 
legs are small, tooth-like processes merely. Besides the differences in these 
hooks and in the sexual appendages, the following may be pointed out: 
the rostrum has small lateral teeth near the tip, the post-orbital ridges have 
a sharp spine at their anterior end, the basal segment of the fifth pair of 
legs is armed with a sharp hooked tooth in place of a flattened tubercle, and 
the hind segment of the telson is longer in proportion to its width.

None of Le Conte’s types of this species are known. Of the specimens in 
the Museum of Comparative Zodlogy referred to this species by Dr. Hagen, 
a small male of the first form, from Georgia (No. 279), agrees well with Le 
Conte’s description. It has a small branchiostegian spine, overlooked in 
Hagen’s description, The rostrum has no trace of ante-apical spines; the 
antennal scale is very broad, attaining its greatest breadth in the middle, 
then narrowing but little until reaching the level of the apical spine. It 
is a little shorter than the peduncle of the second antenne, and equal to 
the rostrum in length. The male appendages are represented on Plate I.
