GRAPSOIDEA. 35 } 



long, or nearly half the breadth of the carapax. In a small male and 

 also a female of like size, the eyes are seen in an upper view, and the 

 front margin, in this view, seems to be emarginated by the orbits ; the 

 breadth in each is but slightly transverse. In a larger female, the 

 eyes in one specimen are seen in an upper view, but not so in a 

 second specimen. The outer maxillipeds have, as usual, the last joint 

 attached to the inner side of the penult, and not reaching beyond its 

 apex ; this joint is narrow linear. 



This species is near the P. globosus of Hombron and Jacquinot 

 (Voy. au Pole Sud, pi. 5, f. 21, 26) ; but the upper finger has not the 

 prominent tooth, represented in their figure, and the outer maxillipeds 

 are of very different form ; the breadth at the lower extremity (outer 

 as the organs lie in the animal) is very narrow, not half as wide as 

 that towards the other extremity. 



PlNNOTHERA FABA. 



Carapax laid transversus, nudus, paulo nitidus. Maxillipedes externi 

 nudi, vix obliqui. Oculi parvuli. Pedes antici feminae breves, manu 

 supra rotundatd, digitis subtiliter pubescentibus. Pedes postici per- 

 breves crassiusculi, articulo tertio pedis 4fo triplo breviore quam cara- 

 pacis latitiido, tarso brevi, basi crasso, subconico, apice uncinato. 



Carapax very broad transverse, naked, somewhat shining. Outer 

 maxillipeds naked, nearly longitudinal. Eyes small. Anterior feet 

 of female short, hand rounded above, fingers minutely pubescent. 

 Posterior feet quite short and stout, third joint of fourth pair one- 

 third as long as breadth of carapax, tarsus short, subconical from a 

 stout base, uncinate at apex.

Length of carapax of a female, five and a half lines ; breadth, eight
