Mr. E. J. Miers on Malaysian Crustacea. 233 



Menippe panope, v. Martens, Arch. f. Nat. xxxviii. p. 87 (1872). 

 Miomenippe duplicidens, Hilgendorf, Monatsb. Akad. Wissensch. Berlin, 

 p. 796 (1878), footnote. 



Java (an adult female of large size) ; Amboina (a male of 

 smaller size). 



The type of Gray's C. Hardwickii is from the Indian 

 Ocean. 



It is not without considerable hesitation that I have united 

 the several species cited above under the heading of G. panope. 

 The identification of Strahl's Menippe granulosa with. Herbst's 

 G. panope was made by Von Martens, after examination of 

 the typical specimens ; and the diagnosis of the latter author, 

 as also the description by Hilgendorf of M. duplicidens, apply 

 very well to the type of Gray's G. Hardwickii and the other 

 specimens of this species in the Museum collection. The 

 granulation of the sides of the carapace and bases of the fingers 

 is somewhat less distinct in the specimens from Java and 

 Amboina than in Gray's type ; and it is possible that a larger 

 seines of specimens might establish a complete transition to 

 the following species. 



Menippe {Myomenippe) Legouilloui. 



Menippe Leqouillouii, A. M.-Edwards, Ann. Soc. Entom. France, vii. 

 p. 274 (1867). 



A male individual, without definite locality, is in the collec- 

 tion. It is distinguished mainly by the lesser prominence of 

 the tubercles of the carapace and the absence of granulations 

 on the upper surface of the wrist, palm, and base of mobile 

 finger. 



There is also a specimen from Swan River in the Museum 

 collection. 



Myomenippe Fornasinii, Hilgendorf (Monatsb. Ak. Wis- 

 sensch. Berlin, p. 795, 1878), from Mozambique, is evidently 

 very nearly allied to this species ; but I should hesitate to 

 unite the two without comparison of specimens. 



Epixanthus dentatus. 



Panopeus dentatus, White, Proc. Zool. Soc. p. 226 (1847) ; Adams and 

 White, Zool. Samarang, Crust, p. 41, pi. xi. fig. 1 (1848). 



Epixanthus dilatatus, Man, Notes from the Leyden Museum (no. xix.), 

 p. 58 (1879). 



Java (an adult male and female). 



These specimens agree very well with Mr. Man's descrip- 

 tion of E. dilatatus (also founded on specimens from Java) , 

 and with the types of Panopeus dentatus, excepting only that 

 they present no trace of the variegated coloration of the
