446 CRUSTACEA. 



tudine cequantes, squama basali apice productd et S-i-denticulatd. 

 Antennarum externarum flagellum infra longe ciliatum. Pedes super- 

 ficie granulati, partim sparsim hirsuti, marginibus liirti; antici cequi, 

 mediocres, manu breviter ellipticd, parce latiore et lonyiore quam 

 carpus, non costatd, marginibus subspinulosis, carpo supra subspinu- 

 loso et hirto. Pedum 4 sequentium tarsus bene canaliculatus, infra 

 ciliatus. 



Carapax sparsely hairy in tufts, anterior region not oblong, front 

 having a low angle at middle, hardly rostrate. Eyes cylindrical, 

 as long as acicle, basal scale prolonged on inner side, and 3-4-den- 

 ticulate at apex. Fiagellum of outer antennaa below long ciliate. 

 Feet having surface granulate, in part sparsely hirsute and margins 

 longer hirsute ; anterior pair equal, of moderate size, hand short, 

 elliptic, a little broader and longer than carpus, not costate, margins 

 subspinous, carpus also subspinous above and hairy. Tarsus of 

 second and thir.d pairs of legs long, canaliculate, below ciliate.

Body one and a half inches long. Eyes hardly as long as anterior 

 margin of carapax. The long fringe of the outer antennae allies the 

 species to the Paguristes. Fourth joint of second and third pairs of 

 legs small tuberculate along dorsal side and hirsute ; fifth joint 

 between small tuberculate or granulous and corrugate, with traces of 

 a longitudinal channel above. Tarsus much longer than fifth joint, 

 channels deep, with a series of hairs on inner half of inner channel, 

 and outer half of lower channel, the hairs being continued on in each 

 of these channels, but shorter. Second basal joint of outer antennae 

 broad and flat above, and having inner margin denticulate. A few 

 minute tufts of hairs on peduncles of eyes, especially towards outer 

 side. Granules (or minute tubercles) of hands hardly in series, ex- 

 cepting a single series near middle of surface. Peduncle of eyes ex- 

 tending on inner side nearly to tip. 



This species resembles Paguristes hirtus in its equal hands, fringed 

 outer antennae, and several other characters. But it differs in the 

 points of generic peculiarity, and besides, is different in the basal 

 joints and acicle of the outer antenna?, in the tarsi, &c.
