is much worn, but there is a line of punctae visible through the mid- 

 dle; there is a large subbasal tooth directed obliquely backward, and 

 bounded posteriorly by a deep, AA'ide groove ; the tooth does not pro- 

 ject beyond the general lower margin, but it may have done so when 

 entire. On the distal portion of the outer edge of the prehensile sur- 

 face there are a few shallow crenulations. 



This specimen comes nearer to Panopeus than to any other known 

 genus; from P. cMlensis Milne Edwards and Lucas ^ it differs in 

 its greater width, in the large tooth originating higher up on the 

 outer surface and in the groove behind it being deeper and moi'e 

 extensive.

Holotype.—Q^t. No. 324253, U.S.N.M. Dactylus of right chela, T.6 

 mm. long. This has the general shape of a Euryirum finger, but the 

 large basal tooth of the prehensile edge is inserted higher up, its 

 oblique base running posteriorly well up on the outer surface; the 

 tooth is directed strongl}' backward and is broadly rounded at the 

 extremit}^ It is followed by about ten low teeth, the first and third 

 of which are the larger. Somewhat above the middle of the inner 

 hud of the outer surface there is a longitudinal depression containing 

 a row of a few punctae. There is a deep groove on the upper sur- 

 face and just within it but higher up there is a row of separated 

 granules or crenulations; they point outward, that is, a side view of 

 them may be obtained by looking down on the top of the finger. 

 The ridge just outside the dorsal groove is proximally microscopically 

 ■granulate. 



This finger can not be referred to E. affine ^ or E. tristani ^ of the 

 Panamian fauna on account of the elevation and direction of the 

 basal tooth, and the row of gi-anules on the upper edge.
