to a terminal spine, with three or four others on its external 
border, and two on its inner boraer near the base : it readies 
more than half the length of the fiftli joint. Tlie third ioint 
is produced below to a prominent spine, and a small spinule 
terminates the fourth joint above. The fifth joint is short, 
reaching about two-thirds the length of the ocular peduncle. 
The flagellum is short, much shorter than tiie carapace, the 
internodes of the joints bearing ratner long setre. 
The chelipeds are moderately robust, nearly equal. Tlie 
merus readies a little beyond the level of the eyes, its lower 
external border is spinulate, and it is slightly rugose on tlie 
external surface; it bears some spinules on the distal margin, 
and one or two also above a little removed from the distal 
end. The carpus is short, its anterior surface is covered with 
white, more or less spiniform tubercles, which become larger 
on the inner margin. The palm is not much longer than the 
carpuis, and is covered anteriorly with similar spiniform 
tubercles, which extend on to the fingers : on a side view the 
joint is strongly wedge-shaped, being swollen j^roximally and 
tapering quickly to the end of the immobile finger. 1 he 
fingers are slightly longer than the j^alm, transverse, corneous 
at the tips, and denticulate on their opposable margins, witli 
a small hiatus. 
The second and third pairs of legs are nearly equal in 
length — the carpi and propodi of the more posterior pair 
being slightly longer — and exceed the chelipeds by about the 
length of the dactyli. The more anterior pair is more spinu- 
late, spinules being situated on the posterior edges of the 
meri, and on the anterior edges of the carpi and propodi. 
The carpi and propodi also show squamose markings, from 
which hairs arise ; these, again, are more evident on the more 
anterior pair • the dactyli of both pairs are longer than the 
propodi : they are scarcely compressed, slightly sulcat-e, and 
end in dark, corneous claws, and are distally more or less 
spinulate. 
In the male the pairs of appendages to the first and second 
abdominal segments are well developed, as also are the uni- 
ramous appendages on the left side of the third, fourth, and 
fifth segments : these bear very long setje. 
In the female the brood pouch is a widely open sac, 
springing from the fourth segment. This covers the biramous 
unpaired appendages of the second, third, and fourth seg- 
ments, and carries the ova. 
The ultimate segment is four-lobed, with minute teeth 
and some hairs on the margin of the terminal lobes.
