The areolation of the carapax in the Corystoidea, where distinct, 

 is Cancroid in character, yet with some peculiarities in the more typi- 

 cal species. The medial region is much elongated behind, this elon- 

 gation occurring mainly in the intramedial areolet (3 M), which in its 

 posterior part, is about as long as broad or even oblong, reaching two- 

 thirds of the distance to the posterior margin of the carapax. Conse- 

 quently the cardiac areolet is placed far back of the middle in the 

 posterior third of the body. The five teeth or lobes D, E, N, T, S, 

 may be distinctly counted in some species, as in Peltarion and 

 Gomeza (Plate 18), as explained more particularly beyond; and in 

 these and similar cases, the antero-lateral margin extends far back
