CANCROIDEA 



bilobato. Ramus maxillipedis \mi internus nan lobatus, apice fere 

 rectus. Pedes usque ad tarsos nudi. 



Resembles Carpilius in general appearance, in naked feet with obtuse 

 margins, and in the antennae. Carapax very transverse, elliptical, 

 the sides being rounded ; front very short, two-lobed. Inner branch 

 of first maxillipeds not lobed, the anterior margin nearly straight. 

 Feet even to the tarsi, naked. 



Liomera has not the four-lobed front, nor the furcate inner branch 

 of the first maxillipeds which characterize Carpilius. The carapax is 

 very transverse and elliptical, with the inner branch entire. The Car- 

 pilius cinctimanus of White (Samarang, pi. 7, f. 4), is evidently of this 



genus. 



The genus Liagora has the characters of Liomera, but yet a diffe- 

 rent aspect, as the carapax, although with rounded sides, is not very 

 broad, and the antero-lateral margin is shorter than the postero-lateral. 

 The tarsi, moreover, are hirsute in lines. 



LIOMERA LATA. 



Carapax nitidus, valde transversus, transversim bene ellipticus, antics' 

 versus marginem anticum subareolatus, in media areolis inconspi- 

 cuis; fronte brevi, perpendiculariter deflexo, superne viso fere recto et 

 super orbitas vix saliente, leviter emarginato; margine antero-laterali 

 crasso et crassd rotundato, 4:-lobato, lobis secundo tertio quarto validis, 

 rotundatis, tertio major -e. Pedes antici cequi, mediocres, manu Icevi, 

 digitis brevibus. 



Carapax shining, oblong transverse and neatly elliptical, anteriorly 

 towards front margin subareolate, but about middle, areolets indis- 

 tinct ; front short, vertically deflexed, nearly straight as seen from 

 above, and hardly more salient than the orbits, emarginate; antero- 

 lateral margin thick and rounded, four-lobed, lobes rounded, second, 

 third, fourth stout, the third largest. Anterior feet equal, of mode- 

 rate size; hand smooth, fingers short.
