REPORT ON THE BRACHYURA. 267 



Carapace broad: slightly hairy, but not enough to obscure 

 the regions of the carapace: granulate, especially anteriorly 

 and laterally. Frontal lobes subtruncate. sloping slightly 

 backward toward the orbit, separated by a broad notch, mar- 

 gin minutely denticulate. Upper and lower margins of orbit 

 denticulate; at the inner lower angle there is a prominent 

 tooth in line with the frontal lobes. Outer angle of orbit 

 dentiform. There are four additional lateral prominences. 

 The one next the orbit or the second tooth proper is small 

 and dentiform. The third, fourth and fifth are larger, spini- 

 form. with long acuminate tips, that of the third tooth point- 

 ing inward, of the fifth pointing outward, and the fourth 

 directed nearly forward. Sub-hepatic tooth present. Inferior 

 surface of carapace granulate and pubescent 



The merus of the chelipeds is armed with spines on the 

 upper and inner margins: upper part of outer surface granulate, 

 distal margin of lower surface spinulous. Carpus coyered 

 with acute granules or tubercles: two sharp spines at the 

 inner angle, one below the other. Merus and carpus slightly 

 hairy. Manus of larger cheliped wholly smooth and naked on 

 the outer surface: at the proximal end of the superior inner 

 face, along the line of the carpus when the cheliped is be,nt. 

 there is an irregular line of granules. Dactylus with a large 

 basal tooth. Fingers light horn-color, the color on the pollex 

 running from the middle of the dactylic tooth in a line nearly 

 at right angles with the inferior margin of the manus. Fin- 

 gers not gaping. Smaller manus smooth and naked except for 

 a few granules at its proximal end. and pointed tubercles along 

 the bicristate upper margin, and on the superior inner surface. 

 Ambulatory legs long and narrow: margins with long, fine 

 hairs, meral joints armed aboye with slender spines.
