contiguous surfaces having some punctations, from which a 
few iiairs spring. The mobile finger is corneous at the tip. 
There is a broad, rather obscure, ridge on the outer side of 
the immobile finger reaching sonie distance on the hand : at 
the inner end of this ridge is a small area of well-defined, red- 
dish granules. The hand, including the fingers, is more than 
twice as long as the carpus. On the outer side the fingers 
show no hiatus, but a prominence on the immobile one fibs 
into a corresponding slight hollow in the mobile one. The 
right cheliped has the carpus and hand bearing larger tu- 
bercles and granules, and a few fasciculi of hairs on the inner 
margin. 
The second and third pairs of legs are long, almost glab- 
rous and robust, exceeding the chelipeds in length. The third 
is more robust than the second. In these the meris and pro- 
podi are very slightly serrate above and below, the carpi have 
a distal spine above, and two or three on the outer side, on 
the distal margin. The dactyli, which are longer than the 
penultimate joints, are moderately curved ana compressed, 
that of the third pair is more flattened on the outer side, and 
bears a well-marked, spinulate ridge above : the inner side is 
rounded and has scattered spinules, the lower margin is acute 
and serrate, especially towards the end. The spinules usually 
arise from dark red spots. Ine dactyli terminate in small 
black claws. 
The fourth pair are much shortened, the joints are setose 
on their anterior and posterior margins, non-chelate, the pro- 
podi becoming narrower distally. The dactyli are short, and 
bear some stout teeth. The fifth pair are shorter, smaller, 
and minutely chelate, the pad of scale-like setae covers the 
whole breadth of the distal end of the propodus. 
The first and second abdominal segments bear sexual ap- 
pendages in the male, the rami of the first being coalesced to 
form a semi-cylinder, the inner ramus is provided with a tuft 
of brown stiff setae, which originate about the middle of the 
inner side, and extend beyond its end, intermingling with 
those of the opposite limb, the outer ramus is thickened, com- 
pressed, rounded at the end, which is slightly recurved out- 
wards, bearing a row of minute teeth. The second pair of 
abdominal appendages are long, slender, and uniramous, and 
are terminally slightly spatulate and setose. The three suc- 
ceeding segments are each provided with a weak uniramous 
appendage on the left side. 
The uropodsi, as usual, are very unequal, the external 
ramus of the pair of the left side is much larger than the 
inner, falcate, and expanded with the usual pavement of 
scale-like setae.
