No. xc. Bab. Pulau Satang. 



A male of this very variable species. On the antennal 

 segment are four forwardly-directed teeth arranged in a 

 square, the two anterior being larger ; between these latter", 

 but nearer to the left one than the right, is a small " Neben- 

 dorn." In a larger specimen in the Museum collection, fi;pm 

 Natunas, there are two " Nebendornen " halfway between 

 each of the anterior and posterior teeth. The second and 

 third abdominal segments are marked with an interrupted 

 transverse hirsute furrow ; the specimen from Natunas is 

 without these, but has a deep furrow on the first abdominal 

 segment, without hairs, as in this specimen. 



Dim. : Base of eyes to posterior margin of carap. 37 millim.

No. LXX. Dab. Simanggang. 



A male, which is certainly identical with A. armata. 

 Whether it is the same as de H aim's species, as Mr. Miers 

 seems to think (Ann. & Mag. N. H. (5) v. p. 382), is rather 

 more difficult to determine, for de Haan's description is too 

 brief. I have compared the mouth-parts of this specimen 

 with de Haan's figures (vide pi. O), but the latter are too 

 diagrammatic for an accurate comparison; as far as I can 

 determine, however, the two are essentially similar. 



Dim. : Length from orbital margin to tip of telson 

 50 millim.; length from orbital margin to posterior margin 

 of carap. 15*5.
