white calcareous margin, differing from the middle portions, which 

 have a fleshy look ; there is also a white calcareous border along the 

 front margin of the carapax. The posterior part of the carapax is 

 hardly less calcareous than the anterior, and both are very flexible. 

 The outer antennae are nearly as long as the body ; the acicle almost 

 naked. 



BEKNHARDUS HIRSUTIUSCULUS. 



Frons breviter rostratus, subacutiis. Carapax brevis, sparsim pubescens, 

 rsgione anticd transversd. Oculorum pedunculi perbreves, basi anten- 

 narum externarum multo breviores, aciculo subnudo parce breviores 

 cornea vix obliqua; squama basalis ovata, non acuta. Pedes antid 

 valde incequi, angusti, carpo manuque pubescentes et granuli-scabri, 

 margins superiore nan spinulosi nee denticulati, crassi; manu oblongd 

 (duplo longiore quam latiore) paulo breviore parce latiore quam 

 carpus, marginibus symmetricis. Pedes 4 sequentes hirsutiusculi, non 

 spinulosi, tarsis paulo compressis, infra subtiliter spinulosis. 



Front short rostrate and subacute. Carapax short, sparsely hairy in 

 tufts, anterior region transverse. Peduncles of eyes very short, 

 much shorter than base of outer antennae, and slightly shorter than 

 the acicle, which is nearly naked ; cornea scarcely oblique ; basal 

 scale ovate, not acute. Anterior feet very unequal, narrow, carpus 

 and hand pubescent and granuli-scabrous, on upper margin not 

 spinulous nor denticulate, stoftt and rounded ; hand oblong (twice 

 as long as broad), somewhat shorter and slightly wider than carpus, 

 the margins symmetrical. Four following feet short hirsute, not 

 spinulous, tarsi a little compressed, below minutely spinulous.

 lum of outer antennae, much more enlarged.

Length, one and one-fourth inches; length of hand, four lines;
