than the left; the ischium is armed with about five denticles along the 
internal margin; the inner margin of the merus is armed with the same 
number of rather larger teeth; the inner margin of both of these segments 
is furnished with long and slender sete; the surface cf the carpus is rough 
with setiferous rugs, and is armed with scattered spinules upon its upper 
face, and with a row of larger spines along the internal margin of the upper 
face. The external face of the propodite is armed with spines which are 
regularly arranged in five longitudinal rows; only at the distal end of the 
propodite, at the base of the fingers, do these spines lose their regular serial 
arrangement; from the bases of these spines spring long setz ; the fingers are 
acute, tuberculo-spinose and setose, like the hand. The fingers of the left 
hand are longer in proportion to the palm than those of the right hand. 
The ambulatory legs are rather stout and longer than the chelipeds; their 
lateral surfaces are smooth; the upper margin of the carpi is armed with 
a row of little spines, and the corresponding margin of the propodites is den- 
ticulated ; the dactyli are longer than the propodites, but not so long as the 
propodites and carpi combined; the anterior pair of ambulatory legs differs 
from the posterior pair in having the dactylus and propodite a little shorter, 
and the lower edge of the merus more hairy and minutely spinulose. ‘The 
telson is deeply cut by a broad median notch in its hind margin into two 
lobes, the left of which is the larger. The margins of both lobes are spinose. 
There is (in the alcoholic specimens) a narrow red ring around both 
fingers near their tips, a broader band of the same color around the base of 
the fingers, and a red spot on the inner side of the anterior face of the hand.

This species, like 9. zis A. M. Edw., is characterized by the spiny armature 
of the chelipeds. It differs from S. irs in having a smaller number of spines 
upon the anterior face of the chela, and in their arrangement in a few defi- 
nite longitudinal rows, the surface between the rows being spineless and 
reticulated. The chela does not display the lively iridescence so striking in 
Milne Edwards’s species, nor are the ophthalmic scales bidentate at the end. 
The merus of the third maxillipeds is not armed with a distal spine as in 
S. wis.
