NO. 3666 CRUSTACEA—TIRMIZI AND MANNING 33 
segment of uropodal exopod with 8 spines, last short; lobe on outer 
margin of inner spine of basal prolongation rounded, margin concave. 
Cotor.—Faded in the specimen from East Pakistan. The specimen 
from Karachi was examined while fresh; one of us (N.T.) made the 
following color notes: ocular peduncles light pink; posterior border 
of carapace with a black band; antennal scale yellowish, outlined 
with dark pigment; claw with merus pink, also marked with a greenish- 
yellow patch; distal end of propodus with bright yellow streak; 
thorax and abdomen appearing speckled; last 3 thoracic and first 
3 abdominal somites pink, last 3 abdominal somites more cream- 
colored; tips of spines of last 4 abdominal somites yellow; posterior 
margin of first 4 abdominal somites black; carinae of telson bluish, 
apices of teeth yellow; telson with pair of submedian yellow-brown 
spots; uropod lightly marked with yellow and black, inner half of 
distal segment of exopod grayish, outer half yellow. 
Discussion.—The large size of this species and the acutely pointed 
lateral process of the fifth thoracic somite will immediately distinguish 
it from H. harpax. Other differences have been noted under the 
account of the latter species. 
DistTRIBuTION.—Indian Ocean, from East Africa to Australia. 
Kemp (1918) recorded it from Karachi.
