It is inij^ossible to look at this species without recognising 
its strong likeness to the family Galafheidir.

This species is found with G. (iiistraliensis, Stimpson, and 
though closely allied to it is, however, I believe, distinct. 
The transverse striae of the carapace, which are much less 
numerous than in that species, are, especially on the gastric 
and hepatic regions, broken up into arcuate lobes or squamae, 
from which spring very long, coarse, minutely serrate setae, 
along with some sliorter ones : these extend on to the ros- 
trum, where they arise from small, round tubercles, and are 
longer than the rostral teeth. The rostral teeth are somewhat 
ovato-lanceolate in shape, especially the terminal one. The 
armature of the surface of the carapace is insignificant ; there 
are two very small, obtuse teeth on the gastric region, placed 
on the most anterior arch, which are wider apart than the 
two spines of G. aiisfraJietisu ; two similar teeth are placed 
further back and wider apart than these, while there is on& 
on each hepatic region. The first two teeth only are constant. 
The lateral spines of the carapace are seven, including the 
post-ocular, which is small. 
The three anterior segments of the jDleon, except the 
first, have deep, transverse sulcations, the posterior margins of 
which, and also faint transverse ridges close to the anterior 
margins, are fringed with similar forward-directed setae, as 
those on the carapace. The fifth segment has a strong trans- 
verse ridge about the middle, the hairs of which and also 
thcf e of its anterior faint ridge are directed backwards. 
The eyes are rather large ; they have a fringe of strong 
setae at their bases. 
The spines at the ends of the antennular joints are long, 
being visible beyond the eyes. 
The flagella of the antennae are longer than the chelipeds 
and are furnished witli setae at the intcrnodes. (Those of (t. 
australie^isis are nearly naked.) 
The chelipeds, as compared with ''/. au^itraUensis, are 
shorter and stouter : they are squamose and clothed with long, 
coarse hairs, the spines also are longer and not so projecting
