Type-locality. — Panama Canal Zone. Las Cascadas section, Gail- 

 lard Cut. From lowest fossiliferous bed, third bed below lowest 

 limestone beds separated by rows of nodules. Lower part of upper 

 half of Culebra formation. Oligocene series. D. F. MacDonald 

 and T. W. Vaughan, collectors. 1911. Station 6020a. Holotype 

 and one paratype. Cat. No. 324269, U.S.N.M. 



Holotype. — A left chela with wrist and arm attached, and enclosed 

 in a nodule which is split in two. The specimen had been crushed, 

 and the half nodule containing the impression shows also small 

 pieces of the cheliped itself. Wrist and manus together oblong- 

 oval ; line between them oblique ; upper and lower margins of manus 

 slightly convex; greatest width about equal to the upper length; 

 from the widest point, the lower margin of the propodus slants 

 upward. Fingers directed straight forward and of subequal length. 

 Immovable finger an isosceles triangle, the base of which is two- 

 thirds as long as either side; end blunt; cutting edge with a shallow 

 triangular tooth at the proximal two-fifths. Movable finger sub- 

 oblong, end broad, cutting edge with a broad, shallow, rounded tooth
