$ . In size, colour, &c. resembling small specimens of P. fulvipes. 

 Carapace weakly granular laterally and on the frontal lobes, longer 

 than 3rd and 4th caudal segments, and nearly as long as 4th and 

 5th. Terga smooth, the last weakly granular at the sides. Sterna 

 smooth, the last with four crests. Tail about three times the 

 length of the carapace, smooth above, scarcely granular laterally, 

 superior and supero-lateral keels weakly denticulate; inferior keels 

 of 3rd weakly denticulate ; 5th segment carinate as in P. fulvipes, 

 with no denticulate supero-lateral crests; vesicle granular at 

 the sides and below. Chelce : brachium with superior crest 

 granular, posterior surface only lightly rugose : hand not crested 

 above as in P. fulvipes ; upper side strongly convex, ornamented 

 with a reticulation of ridges, inner edge subdenticulate, strongly 

 rounded ; lower side nearly smooth ; width equal to length of 

 movable finger, much greater than length of underhand. Spine- 

 armature of tarsi 5-6. Pectinal teeth 13-15 ( rf , $ ). 



c? . Carapace almost covered with granules. Terga finely and 

 closely granular in the posterior half. Chelae longer, brachium

 hand and less than movable finger.
