 keel of the hand-back distinctly granular; hands wide, with 

 strongly convex denticulated inner edge. 



Legs with lower edge of anterior femora denticulate; tarsi 

 of fourth leg with a single row of spines below, of third 

 with a single anterior or external spine as well ; the side-lobes 

 longer than the superior median process. 



Genital operculum heart-shaped, as long as broad. 



Pectines with 14 teeth ; the basal intermediate lamella long, 

 as in 0. Waklbergi. (PI. X. fig. 1 a.) 



Measurements in millimetres. — Total length (abdomen con- 

 tracted) 79 ; length of carapace i'6'5 ; distance of eyes from

No. 2, $ . — A specimen (also dry) that I believe to be 

 the male of this species presents the following differential 

 characters: — 



The carapace only slightly exceeds the first two caudal 

 segments in length ; the side-edges of the interocular area 

 defined by strong granules. 



Terga more thickly covered with granules. 



The first abdominal sternite is smooth, the second granular 

 posteriorly and laterally, the third more granular than the 

 second and the fourth than the third, the fifth entirely covered 

 with squamitorm granules, as also is the lower surface of the 

 first caudal segment. Lower surface of second and third 

 caudal segments sparsely granular and weakly keeled. 



Hands much narrower than in female (cf. measurements), 

 but the granular crests rather more strongly expressed. 



(Pectines absent.) 



Two external spines on lower surface of tarsus of third leg. 



Measurements in millimetres. — Total length 108 ; length 

 of carapace 15, width 13; distance of eyes from front 

 margin 11; length of tail (52; width of hand 9; length of 

 hand-back 8*5, of movable digit 15 "5.
