Length of carapax, three lines ; breadth between tips of lateral 

 spines, six and three-fourths lines; breadth just posterior to the spines, 

 three and a half lines ; length of spines, one and a half lines ; length 

 of hand, three lines. The second, third, and fourth pairs of legs are 

 very slender. The third joint of the outer maxillipeds is oblong, but 

 nearly flat to its anterior margin, yet somewhat obliquely curved in 

 its anterior part. The length of the male abdomen is much less than
