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



hand ovate, densely hairy on its outer surface, with the upper 

 and lower margins, both of palm and fingers, granulated, and 

 with a few prominent granules near the base of the palm ; 

 the inner margins of the fingers regularly toothed near the 

 distal ends ; upper finger with a large rounded tubercle near 

 the base. Left chelipede with the carpus biseriately spinulose 

 above, and the hand and fingers hairy. Ambulatory legs 

 smooth, the penultimate and antepenultimate joints unarmed 

 and not externally compressed, and the tarsal joints shorter 

 than the penultimate joint. The first postabdominal seg- 

 ment (in the male) with a small lobe or projection in its pos- 

 terior margin on either side of the middle line, and with a 

 slender filiform appendage on the left side only. Length of 

 carapace about =■ inch (8 lines) . 



A male is in the collection without definite locality. White's 

 specimen was from the Philippines, and is also a male. There 

 is also a small female example from the Fiji Islands (Ovalau) 

 in the collection, in which the ambulatory legs are prettily 

 mottled with red. 



The specimens before me differ from the description of E. 

 japonicus in the form of the ophthalmic scales ; and there is 

 no median series of spinules on the palm ; but a line of granules 

 with difficulty discernible amid the close pubescence exists in 

 White's typical example. If they should be distinct, White's 

 name of hirtimanus will have to be adopted for them ; but a 

 comparison of the description and figure now given with 

 Stimpson's type is needed before the question can be certainly 

 decided.
