(2) the patch of fuv oa the wrist may be smaller : 

 A single specimen from Mergui (Anderson collection) has tlie 

 carapace 12 millim. long and 15 millim. broad. 



Ill a large series of specimens these distinctions woald probably fail. 



3. Eucrate crenata var. dentata.

 A. 0. Walker, Joiirn. Linn. Soc. Zool. XX. 1886-1890, p. 110. 



Differs from the typical E. crenata^ only in the following parti- 

 culars : — 



(1) the front is entire, the median notch being incouspicuous or 

 absent : 



(2) the outer orbital angle and the third tooth of the antero-lateral 

 border are large and acute, while the 2nd and -Ith teeth are quite 

 inconspicuous. 



In the Indian Museum are two small specimens, one from Palk 

 Strait (the other from Hongkong).

 fig. B, and Cballenger Brachyura, p. 229. 



Differs fi'om E. crenata in the following particulars : — 

 (J) the only ridges on the carapace are two exceeding faint ones 

 running parallel with the postero-lateral borders : 



(2) the antero-lateral borders are cut into 3 teeth, of which the last 

 is spine-like : 



(3) the mediau emargination of the front is much less distinct : 



(4) the chelipeds are about if times the length of the carapace 

 and are decidedly shorter than the legs : there is only one distinct 

 tooth near the far end of the upper border of the arm : the tooth at the 

 inner angle of the wrist is very large and acute : 



(5) the piopodite and dacfcylus of the last pair of legs are not 

 broader than those of the other legs. 



In the Indian Museum is a single male from the Gulf of Martaban, 

 20 fms. The carapace is ll'S millim. long and 135 millim. broad.
