188 CRUSTACEA. 



Plate 9, fig. 3 a, animal, enlarged four diameters ; b, under view of 

 front; c, outer maxilliped; d, extremity of abdomen. 



Sooloo Sea, from a small island off the harbour of the principal 

 Sooloo island. 



Length of carapax, three lines; greatest breadth, three and three- 

 fourths lines; ratio of length to breadth, 1 : 1'25. 



The species is narrow for its length, and has the last of the teeth 

 on the margin less prominent than the preceding. Moreover, the front 

 is very projecting. The carapax appears granulous over the antero- 

 lateral areolets and also anteriorly, and some interrupted lines of gra- 

 nules or depressions corresponding, are observed on the medial areo- 

 lets. The inner orbital fissure is quite small, and the process from the 

 base of the outer antennae is so small, that without care the species 

 might be taken for a Chlorodius, from which genus it is, however, dis- 

 tinct in the straight anterior margin to the third joint of the outer 

 maxillipeds.
