edges of fingers toothed. Ambulatory limbs setose, hind border of dactyli 
spinulose.

This species, which belongs to the genus Galathodes as recently restricted 
by MM. A. Milne Edwards and Bouvier, resembles MZ. tridentata (Esmark), 
M. latifrons (A. M. Edw.), and JL. tridens (A. M. Edw.). It differs from all 
these species by its dense pilosity, the shortness of the rostrum, and the 
great breadth of the hand at the base of the fingers. It further differs from 
M. tridentata through the possession of a pair of gastric spines, and through 
the absence of prominent spines on the meri of the ambulatory appendages ; 
from MV. /atifrons through the presence of gastric spines, and the absence of 
spines on the tergum of the second abdominal somite; from J/. ¢ridens 
through the presence of five internal meral spines and one powerful internal 
carpal spine borne by the cheliped. J. tridentata comes from the eastern 
Atlantic, MW. datifrons from the Barbadoes, IZ. tridens from St. Kitts.

The rostrum is triangular, slightly curved upward, carinated above, the 
lateral edges and the carina lightly denticulated. The carapace is covered 
with squamous setiferous tubercles, which end in spiny points. There is 
a transverse row of six more prominent spiny tubercles on the gastric region. 
The posterior border of the carapace is ornamented with a denticulated rim 
(about eight denticles). There is a spine between the eye and the antenna 
below the anterior margin of the carapace. The abdomen is devoid of 
spines, the pleure have truncated lateral angles. A very short spine pro- 
jects over the cornea of the eye. The antenne are shorter than the body ; 
a spine on the outer side of the basal joint, one on each side of the second 
joint, and one on each side, and one on superior margin of the third joint. 
The chelipeds are long, spinose, except the fingers; hand long, the basal 
part longer than the fingers. All the joints of the ambulatory appendages 
are spiny, except the dactyli.
