A male. The granulations on the carapace are very fine, 

 distinctly visible under the lens ; and there is a well-marked 

 mesial groove on the front, extending back to the level 

 of the external orbital angles. In a smaller female specimen 

 Dr. de Man found no spine on the merus of the last leg; 

 there is one present in this example, which is a little larger. 

 Prof. Henderson (t. c.) says : " The ambulatory legs are 

 pubescent, with a single tooth near the anterior distal end of 

 merus," — making no exception as regards the last pair. 



I note, in addition, in my specimen the presence of a thick 

 hairy tuft on the anterior surface of the meius of the cheli- 

 pedes, and another at the base, internally, of the fingers. 



Dim. : Greatest length of carapace 11*25 millim., breadth 

 (across orbital angles) 14. 



Prof. Henderson gives the length of a male as 11 millim., 

 and its breadth 17 ; Dr. de Man's specimen is given as 

 8'25 millim. long and 12*2 broad.
