blunt si)iues on the inner margin, irregularly dentate on the upper mar- 

 gin, scabrous on tlie upper portion of the outer surface, and with a line 

 of small tubercles on the lower outer margin; carpus faintly scabrous 

 near the merus, with a strong, blunt spine at the inner angle. Hand 

 inflated; fingers irregularly dentate within, ga])ing to the tips in the 

 male, in contact in the female. Ambulatory legs flattened, sparingly 

 pubescent; merus joints denticulate above; carpal Joints indistinctly 

 denticulate above, with a few spinules on the distal margin; propodal 

 joints with two rows of spines above and below, the lower ones the 

 longer, and one row on the distal juargin; dactyls with three rows 

 above and two below, with fewer spines in the lower rows.

Epilobocera granulata. 



(PI. i.xxvii. Fig. 6.) 



The specimens are smaller than in the preceding species, and are 

 sexually immature. The species is closely allied to haytensis. The 

 areolations of the carapace are the same. The anterior portion is 

 more distinctly granulous, especially the epigastric lobes, and the 

 branchial regions are coarsely granulate near the margins. The 

 anterolateral margin is not interrupted at the cervical suture, but 

 there is a deep sinus next the postorbital tooth, and the first tooth 

 following is very small. The next 6 to 9 teeth are larger and jnore 

 regular than the remainder. Superior frontal border as in haytensis. 

 The inferior frontal border is thin, more advanced than the superior, 

 and in a front view the two halves are seen to arch upward. The ex- 

 ternal suborbital fissure is very shallow, scarcely more than an inter- 

 ruption of the denticles of the orbital border. The subhepatic and 

 subbranchial regions are granulate, and the cervical ridge is present 

 as in haytensis, but the jugal area is smooth, except at the anterior 

 extremity. The epistome has three acute lobes, tuberculate on the mar- 

 gins, similar to those of haytensis. The maxillipeds in Avidth exceed 

 the buccal cavity; the merus has the antero-external angle much more 

 arcuate than in haytensis (Fig. 0). Abdomen of male narrower than in 

 haytensis, especially noticeable in the penultimate segment. The merus 

 and carpus of the chelipeds of the male are similar to those in hayten- 

 sis; the cari^al spine is sharper. Hands little dilated; fingers very 

 slightly gaping at their base. Ambulatory legs sparingly pubescent, 

 with meral joints denticulate above; carpal, propodal, and terminal 

 joints armed as in haytensis.
