NO. 1162. BRACHYURA COLLECTED BY THE ALBATROSS— RATHBl'N. 585 



6i. LIPiESTHESIUS LEEANUS, new species. 

 (Plate XLII, figs. 4,5.) 



Surface granulate and eroded; color of pollex running hack on the 

 hand. 



Carapace with niesogastric and cardiac regions depressed. Proto- 

 gastric region forming an elevated protuberance; a similar but smaller 

 protuberance is at the middle of the branchial region; in front of this, 

 two tubercles. Hepatic region inclined, Anteio lateral margin sub- 

 acute, with about four tubercles at intervals. Surface covered with 

 coarse granules arranged to form a network or an eroded surface; 

 gastric sutures smooth. Front strongly deflexed, thin, emarginate, 

 and with a short closed median fissure; lobes obliriue, sinuous, bent 

 down at the outer angles to meet the autennal joint. The inferior sur- 

 face of the crab, excepting the abdomen and the portions against 

 which the legs are applied, is granulous and eroded. Abdomen almo.st 

 smooth. The palpus of the endognath is folded above the preceding 

 joint, and is only slightly visible in a ventral view. 



Chelipeds subequal, thick, outer surface eroded. Fingers gradually 

 curved downward, very rough with granulation; prehensile edges 

 toothed, not gaping; color brown, that of the pollex running back on 

 the hand, further on the inner surface than on the outer. Dactylus 

 longer than the superior margin of the i)alm. The ambulatory legs 

 are short and are ornamented with granulations similar to those of the 

 carapace. 



T/imensions. — Male: Length, 8.4 mm.; width, 11.4 mm. 



Types.— ^0. 21581, U.S.N.M. Two males, from the southern part of 

 the Gulf of California, 10 fathoms, station 2828. 



Named in honor of Prof. L. A. Lee, of Bowdoin College, who was 

 chief naturalist of the Albatross during the cruise around the Horn. 



62. PILUMNUS SPINULIFER, new species. 

 (Plate XLII, figs. 6-8.) 



Carapace rough, nearly naked; larger hand half smooth; smaller hand 

 entirely rough outside; a subhepatic tooth or spine. 



Carapace wide, convex, deeply areolated, surface nearly naked, hav- 

 ing only a short, scattered pubescence, not concealing the spiniform 

 granules covering the surface. These granules are very small poste- 

 riorly, but anteriorly they are larger and along the anterolateral mar- 

 gin many of them are developed into spiiiules. Median sinus of the 

 front very large and V-shaped, forming the inner margins of the two 

 large lobes ; the outer margins are also oblique 1 >ut longer ; outer angles 

 of front rectangular; margin tliin and granulat<,'. Superior margin of 

 orbit spinulous, inferior margin armed with slender spines; inner .sub- 

 orbital tooth i)rominent, spinulous, and sharp. Anterolateral margin
