the eyes, which are visible at the sides of the rostrum, and 

 suddenly narrowing towards the extremity, which is acute. 

 A small tooth external to the eyes. Anterior legs in the male 

 very long, rather slender, and hairy, without spines. 



Length and breadth rather more than | inch.

The Elamene pilosa, A. M.-Edw. N. Arch. Mus. Hist. 

 Nat. ix. p. 322, pi. xviii. fig. 6 (1873), somewhat resembles 

 this species, but differs from it in the form of the carapace and 

 front. In E. trimcata (A. M.-Edw. I. c. p. 323) the eyes are 

 concealed by the rostrum, which is produced below into a lobe 

 separating the inner antennae. 



Petrolisthes. 

 Petrocheles, subgen. nov. 



Sides of the rostrum spinose. Lateral margins of tlie cara- 

 pace with a series of spines. Anterior legs elongated, slender ; 

 arms with spines on the anterior margin. 



Petrochdes sjnnosus, n. sp. lyP*^; B.M. 



Carapace depressed, broader behind, almost entirely covered 

 with a close short pubescence ; lateral margins with a series 

 of ten or eleven small spines. Front prominent ; lateral mar- 

 gins with three or four spinules. Anterior legs closely pubes- 

 cent, granulous above • arm with a series of four or five spines 

 on the anterior margin ; fingers hairy on their inner margins, 

 and not quite meeting at their base when closed. Ambulatory 

 legs with the superior margins spinulous and hairy. 



Length of carapace 7g inches, breadth Ig inch. 



Hah. New Zealand. 



A specimen in the British-Museum collection from Australia 

 resembles the foregoing, but has in addition two spines on 

 the carapace at base of front, two longitudinal series of eight 

 spines each on the upper and posterior surface of the arm, and 

 the upper margin of the mobile finger spinulous. For this 

 species I propose the name of P. australiensis. 



Eupagurus splnulimanus, n. sp. Type, B.M. 



Carapace wath the median rostral tooth nearly obsolete. 

 Eye-peduncles slender, longer than the front margin of the 

 carapace, their basal scales small, with a short spine at the 

 antero-internal angles. External anteimas with a short spine 

 external to the basal scale, Avhich is slender, linear, ciliated at
